Meet The Team

Outstanding facilitators delivering world-class computing CPD and masterclasses for schools across England.

The team behind Park House NCCE Computing Hub brings together experienced educators and computing specialists who are passionate about transforming how schools approach the subject. Every facilitator combines deep classroom knowledge with current industry insight, ensuring that the professional development offered is both practical and forward-looking. Whether supporting primary teachers taking their first steps with coding or guiding secondary departments through curriculum change, the team tailors each session to real classroom needs. Their approach is grounded in the belief that great computing education should be accessible to every school, regardless of starting point, and that teachers thrive when given high-quality, sustained support.

Across Newbury and the wider Berkshire region, the hub team works closely with schools to identify what will make the biggest difference in their computing provision. This begins with a curriculum health check, a supportive review that helps schools see their strengths and pinpoint areas for growth. From there, facilitators design a pathway of free CPD, masterclasses, and summer schools that build confidence and competence over time. The team also champions the generous bursaries available through the National Centre for Computing Education, making sure schools understand how to access funding that removes barriers to participation and enables meaningful, lasting change.

The hub's facilitators are known for their ability to make complex computing concepts feel approachable and engaging. They model effective teaching strategies that teachers can take straight back to their classrooms, from unplugged activities that demystify algorithms to hands-on coding projects that spark genuine curiosity. Sessions are structured around active learning, with plenty of opportunity for discussion, reflection, and collaboration with peers from other schools. This practical, workshop-style approach means that every attendee leaves with ideas they can implement immediately, supported by ongoing resources and a growing network of like-minded educators across England.

Beyond individual sessions, the team is committed to building a lasting community of computing educators. Through regular meet-the-team events, networking opportunities, and follow-up support, teachers are encouraged to stay connected long after their initial training. This sense of continuity is central to the hub's philosophy, recognising that sustained engagement leads to deeper confidence and stronger outcomes for pupils. Schools are invited to explore the full range of options available, whether that means attending a single masterclass or embarking on a comprehensive curriculum transformation. The team is always ready to help schools choose the path that best fits their context and their ambitions for their pupils.
