A CITY school's computing department continues to add to its success with an accolade.

Nunnery Wood High School has been recognised for delivering high-quality computing education to its students, developing their digital skills and preparing them for the future.

The National Computing Quality Mark was achieved after evaluating the Spetchley Road school’s computing education which demonstrated high-quality provision.

The mark is awarded by the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) and recognises excellence of computing education offered by schools as part of the curriculum development through the Computing Quality Framework (CQF).

Andy Jenkinson, head of Nunnery Wood's computing department, said: "We are delighted to be one of an elite number of schools in Worcestershire to receive this prestigious award.

"To be successful in our bid we needed to complete all seven aspects of the CQF in order to receive the Computing Quality Mark which recognises achievement in leadership and vision, curriculum and qualifications, teaching, learning and assessment, staff development, equity, diversity, inclusion and SEND, careers education and impact on outcomes."

Claire Garside, senior lead facilitator at the NCCE, said: “Congratulations to Nunnery on becoming an NCCE Computing Quality Mark school!

"They’re among the schools leading the way to deliver high standards in computing education.

"The Computing Quality Mark recognises the quality of their provision to ensure all students receive the computing skills and knowledge so valuable for today and in their future careers.”
