The BSC, the professional body for computing, is offering scholarship of £29,000 to train to teach computer science. These tax-free scholarship are available to support unsalaried trainee secondary school teachers through their year of Initial Teacher Training (ITT).
CTSN SCITT is excellently placed for computing trainee teachers as it works with two of the National Computing Hub – London, Hertfordshire and Essex [based at Saffron Walden County High School] and Cambridge and Northamptonshire [based at Chesterton Community College]. Both are placement schools for our SCITT.
