Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many pupils have made use of the National Centre for Computing Education’s Computing Hubs since their introduction in 2018.

The support offered by computing hubs is, for the most part, aimed at teachers only.

Hubs have also previously supported the National Centre for Computing Education's (NCCE) outreach programme aimed at pupils. NCCE will continue with outreach activity in 2025/26 continuing to raise awareness of careers in computing and digital. Data for the number of pupils who have attended hub outreach events since 2018 is not available.

The government will continue to fund the NCCE in the 2025/26 financial year to support the teaching of computing and increase participation in computer science qualifications.
