Meet the team →Why choose Park House as your computing hub? The answer lies in the depth of support on offer for both primary and secondary schools. From the moment you connect with the team, you gain access to a network of outstanding facilitators who understand the realities of the classroom. The hub is built around the belief that every school, regardless of size or location, deserves a world-class computing education. That commitment shapes everything, from the curriculum guidance offered to the tailored advice that helps teachers feel confident introducing new concepts to their pupils.
The hub goes beyond conventional professional development. While standard CPD has its place, Park House creates unique opportunities that genuinely inspire. Remote masterclasses allow teachers to learn from wherever they are, while summer schools bring educators together for immersive, hands-on experiences. These events are designed to spark creativity and build lasting skills, not just tick boxes. Each session is crafted to be practical, relevant, and immediately useful, so teachers leave with ideas they can apply in their classrooms the very next day, whatever phase they teach.
Financial support is a cornerstone of the hub's approach. Many schools hesitate to invest in training because of budget pressures, but the generous bursary support available through the hub removes that barrier. Free CPD courses mean that cost is no longer a reason to miss out on high-quality computing education. This is particularly valuable for schools in rural or under-resourced areas, where travel and supply cover can otherwise make professional development feel out of reach. The hub works to level the playing field for every school across England.
At its heart, Park House is about people. The facilitators are not just subject experts; they are practising educators who bring real classroom experience to every session. They understand the pressures teachers face and offer support that is both practical and encouraging. Whether you are taking your first steps with the computing curriculum or looking to deepen existing provision, the team meets you where you are. The result is a hub that feels less like a distant organisation and more like a genuine partner in your school's journey.
