The Careers, enrichment, and outreach dimension of the CQF helps schools to evaluate the 'wrap-around' aspects of computing, including information for young people relating to computing careers and, in secondary schools, the qualifications that lead to them. Extra-curricular and curriculum enrichment, including clubs, competitions and outreach activities, are address within this dimension which seeks a richer school computing experience for all.

This CPD is aimed at those who are actively leading these efforts through subject and cluster leadership, whether in primary or secondary schools.

The session will support a stragegic approach to CPD for the computing team. It will also help leads to plan in-school and cross-cluster interventions and collaborations that support progress towards the Computing Quality Mark, taking account of the different contexts for primary and secondary computing.

As well as guidance and sharing of 'what works elsewhere', the session will include a Q 'n' A workshop facilitated by an experienced cluster advisor. Advice and guidance, of benefit to all participants, will be discussed alongside supportive ideas and reflections from other participants.
