WELCOME & OVERVIEW
The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) is funded by the Department for Education and marks a significant investment in improving the provision of computing education in England.
Run by a consortium made up of STEM Learning, the Raspberry Pi Foundation and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, our vision is to achieve a world-leading computing education for every child in England.
What the NCCE aims to achieve
The NCCE aims to improve the expertise of computing teachers from primary to KS5 – so they are able to teach the new knowledge-based computing curriculum, and the new computer science content including at GCSE and A level.
