Hello #caschat. Sorry to be a bit late joining. Enjoyed reading replies so far.
A1 (and Q1a) - in the process of setting up an eSports inter-form competition that I'd like to be as inclusive as possible. Any tips?

An honour to make my Maiden speech today in Parliament, amongst the first intake of MPs to do so.

Have you seen the review of standards in GCSE computer science published today by Ofqual?📚
As Niel Mclean says in the article below,💬"... it demonstrates that the voice of teachers can make important changes happen."
Thank you to those of you in the CAS community who contributed to this.

We're thrilled that Ofqual has responded to our community about harsh grading in GCSE Computer Science.
Changes for this year's students mean fairer assessments. Thanks to all who contributed to this positive outcome! hubs.ly/Q02H5mCN0

Watch our new teacher recruitment advert; an invitation, from teachers, to join their amazing profession.
The film was made with teachers who know the joys and complexities of school life. They helped us write the script and draft the messaging

So much to reflect on from today's @pearson school report.
93% of teachers think there should be more digital emphasis in school on preparing learners for the future.
Recruiting, training and retaining computing teachers has to be part of the solution
pearson.com/en-gb/schools/in…
ALT 86% of learners say technology plays a big part in their live snow and will continue to as they get older, so they need to be good at using it More than 1 in 2 learners say their school is good at helping prepare for a digital world Yet just 7% of teachers believe the current education system has enough digital emphasis to prepare learners for their futures.

What's your takeaway from today's SCARI #Computing report from @KingsCollegeLon?
Mine is: CS is the fastest growing GCSE and it's well worth studying 👩🏾💻🧑🏻💻but the skills shortage requires a range of creative digital qualifications at KS4: not just CS
