Primary Computing Subject Leader Update – Odyssey Computing Hub
The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) was set up in November 2018 by the DfE to increase the number of pupils in schools and colleges who study computer science. Pates Grammar, in partnership with Adfecto, was successful in its application and Odyssey Computing Hub was formed. We are one of 34 hubs across the country and we serve Gloucestershire, Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Wiltshire and North Somerset.

- update you with Teach Computing and Hub news, including CPD opportunities (free and low cost)
- provide you with some free resources which may be of use to you in your role as computing subject leader
Date and Time:
Where: Zoom (initially, I very much hope that we can meet face to face in the near future)
When: September 15th
Time: 16:00 – 16:30
Booking link: https://www.stem.org.uk/cpd/499751/forest-dean-computer-science-subject-leader-updates-invitation-only
In order to book, you will need to sign up for a Teach Computing account, but this will give you access to the free Teach Computing resources and will enable you to track your progress towards a Teach primary computing certificate (a nationally recognised qualification awarded by the BCS).
