The Network of Teaching Excellence in Computer Science is both a network of professionals working together and a wide-reaching programme of professional development, including many more aspects than simple provision of training courses.

We currently have 1775 registered schools of which 559 are lead schools, committed to supporting other schools in their local community; and 510 CAS Master Teachers , trained to deliver cost-effective CPD to teachers and schools and play a vital role in developing computing provision in schools nationally.
