In a remarkable achievement, Barrow CEVC Primary School has been awarded the prestigious Computing Quality Mark by the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE). This accolade, awarded by STEM Learning, recognises schools that demonstrate excellence in their computing curriculum and procedures.

The journey to this award began with an online application through the Computing Quality Framework website. Barrow CEVC Primary School reached the required standard (level 4) across all dimensions of the framework, prompting their Computing Hub to notify independent assessors. After a thorough review of the submitted evidence and application, the assessors confirmed that the school met the high standards required for the award.

The Computing Quality Mark is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the staff and students at Barrow CEVC Primary School. It highlights their commitment to providing high-quality computing education, equipping students with essential digital skills for the future. The award is valid for three years, after which the school will need to be re-assessed to maintain their status.

Successful schools receive an individually printed certificate and the right to feature the award on their websites, showcasing their achievement to the wider community. For those schools that do not meet the required standards, assessors provide feedback on areas needing improvement, ensuring a clear path to future success.

This recognition is a significant milestone for Barrow CEVC Primary School, reflecting their continuous efforts to excel in all areas of education. Congratulations to the entire school community for this well-deserved honour!

The Computing Quality Mark is open to all schools and colleges, and can be applied for on the Computing Quality Framework website here. The Suffolk Computing Hub can support schools through the process completely free of charge. Email [email protected] .
