    About Secondary Computing PGCE with QTS

    Want to turn your passion for computing into a future proof career? Our Secondary Computing PGCE gives you the skills and experience to teach pupils aged 11–16 and build a rewarding career. You’ll immerse yourself in the core principles of computing education, developing your understanding of computer science, information technology, and digital literacy. Through practical workshops, you’ll refine strategies for teaching programming, algorithms, data representation, computer systems, and networks, helping pupils grasp both the theory and real world applications of computing. You’ll explore effective pedagogical approaches, from sequencing learning to assessing progress and supporting diverse learners to thrive in the subject. Your expertise will be strengthened further through the completion of National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) courses, enhancing both your subject knowledge and your ongoing professional development. Across two contrasting school placements, you’ll teach in different environments, work with experienced mentors, and refine your classroom practice. University-based sessions, led by subject specialists, will help you connect theory to practice through approaches to lesson planning, assessment, behaviour management, and strategies to support pupil wellbeing.
