The CAS Sunderland Secondary Community is run by CAS Master Teacher John Lamb, and meetings are held at Sunderland University.

The Community aims to build links between subject teachers across schools and key stages; to provide important information regarding the Computing curriculum and changes to qualifications; and to support with training and development needs.

It seeks to provide support in the delivery and assessment of qualifications across the range of exam boards (including visits/presentations by representatives of the exam boards), and to allow for opportunities for collaborative planning and assessment techniques and for smooth transition between Primary and Secondary.

It has ambitions to build a network of support amongst like-minded computing practitioners, and to build links with local computing/software/ networking organisations in order to enable career progression and pupil visits.

If you have any queries or ideas you would like to discuss for future meetings, please contact john.lamb@computingatschool.org.uk
