Advances in computing are transforming the way we work and our new Computer Science specifications are changing with the times.
Without the need for huge changes we're delighted to present up-to-date specifications that focus on the skills students need to progress to higher education or thrive in the workplace.
Teaching AS and A-level together will help to make the transition to the new specification smoother and our schemes of work will show you how the two levels can be taught together.
Our free resources, events and support, along with professional development opportunities, will help you to inspire and help your students fulfil their potential.
