The Impact and outcomes dimension of the CQF looks at the results of an excellent computing education in terms of learner engagement with the subject and their computing attainment. It also considers the wider impacts across the school community, including the application of computing in other subject areas. It helps schools to evaluate the effectiveness of wider provision on young people, and their families, aiming to make computing a central pillar of school life.

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 strategic 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.
