'Compute-IT' will help teachers to deliver innovative lessons for the new Key Stage 3 computing curriculum with confidence, using resources and meaningful assessment produced by expert educators.

With 'Compute-IT' teachers will be able to assess and record students' attainment and monitor progression all the way through to Key Stage 4. Developed by members of Computing at School, the national subject association for computer science, and a team of Master Teachers who deliver CPD through the Network of Excellence project funded by the Department for Education, 'Compute-IT' provides a cohesive and supportive learning package structured around the key strands of computing.

Creative and flexible in its approach, 'Compute-IT' makes computing for Key Stage 3 easy to teach, and fun and meaningful to learn, so teachers can:
