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?

Really good to hear @lukejcr's powerful maiden speech for York Outer celebrating the life changing potential of state education. Thank you and all the best for your new role as MP!
An honour to make my Maiden speech today in Parliament, amongst the first intake of MPs to do so. I will dedicate my service as a Member of Parliament to the people of York Outer.

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. 🔗computingatschool.org.uk/new… #edutwitter #Exams #ofqual

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 #GCSE #ComputerScience #FairGrading

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…

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 kcl.ac.uk/ecs/assets/kcl-sca…
