Alongside their brilliant teacher, Sara Jenkins, theyβve built a culture that inspires female pupils, boosts confidence, and shows whatβs possible in Computing Science.
The female uptake at their school is incredible - not just at BGE, but all the way through to AH!

Role models for pupils are incredibly important but peer role models hold significant influence. These senior dressCodeHQ mentors proved that! Itβs been such a privilege to work with them and meet them.

A great opportunity for teachers delivering Computing Science across both primary and secondary schools in Scotland to share their views on the challenges facing the subject, exchange good practice, and contribute ideas and solutions for the future.

and inconsistent access across schools. Early exposure to Computing Science is essential for every pupil to experience and succeed. This depends directly on the recruitment of teachers, which ensures the subject can thrive in all schools and maintain equitable access.

Building Scotlandβs tech talent pipeline starts in our classrooms β but not all pupils have equal access to Computing Science.
2025 results show Computing Science pupils performed strongly. While these results are impressive, the subject still faces a persistent gender gap

Unfortunately, this does not currently happen.
Research shows we need 50 new CS teachers every year. I believe this is entirely achievable.
Great work Skyscanner!

Having a sustainable pipeline of Computing Science teachers would be a huge step towards achieving equity of access for all pupils, ensuring they all have an equal opportunity to experience the subject and discover if it is something they enjoy.

A strong Computing Science ecosystem in our schools is absolutely essential for the future of Scotlandβs tech talent pipeline, and that pipeline begins in our classrooms. Dedicated teachers are at the heart of nurturing it.
