Computing in the National Curriculum - A guide for Secondary Teachers

We developed this free guide to help secondary school teachers get to grips with the computing curriculum following the curriculum change in 2014. The guide demystifies the programme of study and gives easy to follow support for planning, teaching and assessing computing.

Secondary Thematic Communities

Our core communities are open to anyone across the UK with a shared interest around a theme. Our volunteer leaders of these communities schedule the content of the meetings considering ‘hot topics’ and the needs’ of community members.  

We have a Secondary focused thematic community, as well as targeted groups specifically for Secondary HODs, A-Level, and Trainee/ECT teachers.

Local Communities

CAS has a network of local communities across the UK run by our volunteer Community Leaders, specialising in offering relevant local support to teachers.

Communities are either primary or secondary specialised or focus on both – called ‘Mixed Communities’.
