Progress that should be celebrated but likely unsustainable with important context. - CS has lowest number of teachers since records began. - highest age demographic compared to traditional STEM subjects. - least number of places to train as a CS teacher. #SaveComputingScience

Six years of experiencing, learning and having fun has come to an end. Seeing our S6 leave for the last time today was a reminder of the amazing people who are entering the world of further education and work. We know that whatever you are going to do, you’ll all be amazing!
