Don’t take our word for it

‘Lucy and Marc, the primary computing advisors for Walsall, have been invaluable during my role as computing Co-ordinator. They are available whenever I need support and advice whether it be relating to the changes in the curriculum, purchasing new resources or support with on-line learning platforms. As a whole school, staff have been delighted with their delivery of computing lessons which both inspire, develop and extend the children’s learning whilst demonstrating good teaching with new resources for our staff to gain experience from. The courses they run are current, accessible and relevant to the continuous changes to the curriculum. They also provide us with in service training for our Teaching Assistants which again strengthens our knowledge of computing within the school, enabling all staff to work confidently with technology. Above all they are friendly and approachable to work alongside.’
