Secondary Computing QTS Teaching Programme

The 11–18 (Secondary) QTS Programme – Computing at Bromley Schools’ Collegiate prepares graduates to teach Computing in secondary schools. The programme combines structured training with two contrasting school placements, allowing trainees to apply theory in real classrooms and build professional teaching skills.

Trainees will develop the subject knowledge and pedagogical skills needed to teach core Computing topics such as programming, algorithms, cybersecurity, digital literacy, and computational thinking. The course leads to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), with the option to also study for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).
