Every child in every school in England should have access to a world-leading computing education.
About us
To meet the growing demand for digital skills, the National Centre for Computing Education has been set up to make a significant contribution to the teaching of computing education throughout England. We support the teaching of computing in schools and colleges across all key stages, giving teachers the subject knowledge and skills to establish computing as a core part of the curriculum.

The annual Work Trend Index Report from Microsoft has revealed that the use of generative AI has nearly doubled in the last six months, with 75% of workers using it. AI isn't yet part of the English curriculum, so bridge the gap by inviting one of our computing role models into the classroom to show how it's being used in the industry, right now!

Congratulations to all GCSE and A-Level students that have received their results over the past couple of weeks! It’s great to see some real positives for computing and computer science, including: - 5.8% more entries at GCSE and 11.4% more entries at A-Level - 10.3% more entries from female students at GCSE - 15% increase in the number of top grades (grades 9-7) awarded in GCSE Computer Science Whilst this gives us a lot to celebrate, we must go further in addressing the gender imbalance in the subject and continue to ensure that all pupils are given equal opportunities. The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) will continue to support young people, educators and schools to improve the offer and, through the I Belong programme, address the gender disparity within the subject. I have recently had the pleasure of meeting with various organisations from across the country, all aligned with the work of the NCCE in supporting young people and promoting a skilled future workforce in their regions. From FinTech (Stephen Kevan, FinPact) and CyberFirst (Nik Kelsey, GCHQ) in the North East, to building partnerships with Digital Birmingham (Raj Mack), down to Dorset Council UK and their fantastic coding day initiatives (Penny Syddall FCIPR) - we will continue to create opportunities for all young people.

We all know a young person who's obsessed with Roblox. 👀 Now they're collaborating with Cartoon Network Studios for the National Coding Week in September! The question is - which character would you want to join you in learning coding, debugging and vector drawing? 🐻 For even more ideas and inspiration for Coding Week and beyond, check out our resources: https://lnkd.in/emD-vQDq #Education #STEM SUPER.

Our network of Computing Hubs support specific, local computing needs. Laura, for example, is part of the NCCE Newcastle, Durham and Cumbria Computing Hub. 🇬🇧 She recently completed our Teach Primary Computing Certificate, so we sat down with her to see how it has impacted her teaching, and what activities she gets pupils involved in to get them all excited about the world of computing. #School #ComputerScience #Curriculum

The final schools are breaking up for the summer this week. We wish everyone a really restful summer! A big thank you goes to all the scientists, engineers, healthcare workers and other professionals who have taken part in Chats with over 265 schools in 760 Chats. 🌟In November we ran the Climate, Marine, Psychology and Genetics Zone. 🌟In January the Royal Institution commissioned the Artificial Intelligence Zone to match their CHRISTMAS LECTURES series. 🌟The Spring Term brought the launch of our new delivery model, allowing teachers to match enrichment to their curriculum, at any point throughout the school year. March was busy with 191 Chats during British Science Week alone! I'm a Scientist will be back, in August, at the start of the Scottish school year. But so will I'm a Mathematician, I'm an Engineer and I'm a Computer Scientist. Now, even more students will get the opportunity to see real-life applications of their classroom studies. A massive thank you goes to our funders. STEM Ambassadors, National Centre for Computing Education, Royal Society of Chemistry, The Genetics Society,Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), Johnson Matthey, Lantra, The Royal Institution, The Alan Turing Institute, The Institute of Cancer Research, The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), MRC National Mouse Genetics Network, PSI: Statisticians in the Pharmaceutical Industry, Wellcome Sanger Institute and more.
