Hubs support schools and colleges to provide a high-quality computing education to all young people.

We will work with you to identify your computing needs and provide a targeted programme of support to help embed this key subject in your school. Support includes high-quality CPD with subsidies; teaching and learning resources; and school-to-school support.
