Computing Catalyst
Accelerate Computing success in your school
Digit<all> understands the challenges facing schools to provide and engaging, active and creative Computing curriculum. Our team of experienced ambassadors, who are all existing or previous leaders of Computing in primary and secondary schools can support you school. We support at all levels, from helping to design and develop and inspiring curriculum, supporting Computing leads, through to the delivery of online and face-to-face lessons for a term or school year.
We provide online and hybrid delivery of Computing and Computer Science lessons and support students with NEAs and examination marking. We support schools that have difficulties with high-quality Computer Science teacher recruitment or need interim support due to teacher illness.
Our specialists can support your school by reviewing your current curriculum, understand your vision for digital learning and help develop a creative computing curriculum tailored to your staff and your curriculum offer.
We can work with new Computing coordinators to help them develop their leadership, with a focus on development areas identified by school leadership.
A specialist will deliver to your classes, to model pedagogy around topics within the computing curriculum. Non-specialists observe and then engage in team teaching.

Beneficiaries of Catalyst
The support DigitAll have our Year 13 class was outstanding. When their previous teacher left, we were in a position of needing experts to help them complete the A-level course and we've been very fortunate to work with the expects at DigitAll. They've supported in all areas including coursework and mock examinations and the students have benefitted enormously from the team's collective knowledge.
Queen Anne's School, Berkshire
Digit<all> delivered weekly online GCSE Computer Science lessons to Year 11s at Oakbank School, stepping in after staff illness left the school without a specialist teacher. Five ambassadors provided diverse teaching styles and role models, with content tailored to focus on programming, networks, and computational thinking.
Oakbank School, Hampshire
Digit<all> offered a flexible and engaging online learning solution for our pupils, enabling them to develop a broad range of IT skills while continuing to make strong progress across sthe computing curriculum.
Crosfields School, Reading
We turned to Digit<all> for A-Level Computer Science delivery and they were outstanding. Their four specialists were not only highly knowledgeable but also engaging, reliable, and excellent with students. They planned lessons, tailored content, supported exam prep, and shared expert insights; including from those who mark for exam boards. With half the course left and no specialist staff, Digit<all> truly came to our rescue. I’d recommend them without hesitation to any school in a similar situation.
