Completing your CQF CN303 / F119
Summary
The Computing Quality Framework (CQF) is an online tool to enable schools to access free support and resources, review their provision and celebrate excellence. To gain accreditation is simple, you just need to talk about what you already do in your department and what you are developing. You probably have the core of this in your Department Development Plans, Ofsted planning, CyberFirst Application or similar.
Have you started your CQF but not sure what to write?
Join our working group for this series of sessions and complete your CQF application by the end of this academic year. Each month we will focus on a different section so you can reflect and make tangible progress on your priorities in Computing.
At each session, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other teachers to identify what you do now that supports the accreditation and leverage your time to get the most out of your CQF application.. You will also be able to access support from dedicated Computing experts.
We will cover aspects including; updating your KS3 curriculum, increasing uptake at KS4 and KS5, introducing STEM clubs and enrichment opportunities, working with local industry professionals, how to improve diversity and inclusion, and supporting non-specialists.
