Celebrating Our First CyberFirst Schools

On Thursday 4th of July located in Bradford, we celebrated a significant milestone: the recognition of our first five CyberFirst schools in the Yorkshire and Humber region.​

​

It was an honour to present awards to these outstanding schools:

​

🥇 Gold Awards:

·       Bingley Grammar School

·       Titus Salt School

🥈 Silver Awards:

·       Delta Academies Trust Hanson School

·       Beckfoot Thornton School

🥉 Bronze Award:

·       Belle Vue Girls' School

​

Meeting so many bright students and passionate teachers was an absolute pleasure. We look forward to supporting these schools in the coming years to achieve the following goals:

​

• Encourage more students to take GCSE Computer Science: We aim to ignite a passion for computing and cybersecurity, ensuring that students see the value and excitement in pursuing these subjects.

​

• Inspire more girls to take GCSE Computer Science: By highlighting the achievements of women in tech and providing role models, we hope to close the gender gap in the field of computer science.

​

• Provide industry engagement and showcase career opportunities: Through continued collaboration with industry partners, we aim to give students a clear view of the career paths available in cybersecurity and related fields.
