Senior leaders are switching their tracking strategy. 🔄 Stop "collecting" data and start using it. Drill from whole-school trends to individual pupil needs in 2 clicks. It’s not just monitoring; it's an intervention powerhouse. 📷🚀

The headlines in today's The Times on the decline in Computing Science teachers in Scotland make for stark reading. Teacher recruitment is the biggest barrier to equitable access - but the numbers are the most visible symptom of a much wider system problem.

I've updated the past paper video channel I keep. I've added Q9 and Q10 to the 2025 N5 paper. I always feel a bit more comfy with Higher, but I've been making these for my own class.

1/3 The biggest barrier to equity of access in CS is recruitment. To see the subject thrive in every secondary school, we must address the teacher shortage. It's the single biggest hurdle to ensuring every pupil can study CS, regardless of their postcode.
📢 Help inspire the next generation of CS teachers!
We need to build a sustainable pipeline to ensure equity of access for pupils. Can your department host a prospective teacher for a 1–2 day observational visit?

In Scotland, Computing Science has the largest gender gap of any STEM subject, a trend stuck in place for a decade. We often talk about role models, confidence & capability. These are symptoms of the root cause being access & equity.
