Cyber Security for Primary Schools (Webinar)
A full day course designed for real schools, not IT specialists and delivered by Phil Bagge, Computing Inspector/Adviser.
You do not need technical expertise to manage cyber risk effectively. Cyber-attacks against schools are rising, and many incidents start with everyday staff actions rather than technical failures.
This practical one-day course provides primary schools with the clarity and confidence to reduce risk, respond quickly, and meet growing expectations around cyber security.
Schools will take away session plans to engage different members of the school community as well as ways to keep cyber security in mind in the long term. Help will be provided to update or write a Cyber Security plan.
The course fee allows up to three delegates from your school to attend for all or part of the course. SLT may want to attend for the first hour’s overview. If you have a governor with responsibility for technology, they can join when they can.

Block Based Programming in KS2 & KS3
This face-to-face course is designed for teachers working in Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 who want to strengthen their understanding of how to teach block-based programming effectively. It focuses on practical classroom methodologies and teaching strategies, rather than just learning how to use a particular tool.
The main programming environments explored will be Scratch, micro bit and crumble but other block-based programming languages will be referenced where they help illustrate progression, pedagogy, or common teaching challenges.
Participants will explore different ways of teaching block-based programming, with a strong emphasis on why particular approaches work well for certain pupils and contexts.
