Computing teacher Paul Cullis has been presented with our official recognition as a Silver CyberFirst College. This is a nationally recognised accreditation by the National Cyber Security Centre that demonstrates our strong commitment to cyber security education. The proposal that was submitted was so strong that we completely skipped the Bronze award which most new proposals achieve, to immediately gain silver status, which is largely due to the team effort in delivering excellent standards in cyber security. A big thank you to everyone who helped with the proposal!
There have been a total of seven schools/colleges who achieved a CyberFirst accreditation recently and of these seven, only two schools/colleges have achieved a Silver award, Prior being one of them.
This now means that Prior Pursglove College has exclusive access to industry links including Quorn, The Police Force, and Cummins and at other local educational establishments who want to share their knowledge on cyber security and cyber education.
We also have opportunities for our students to access new pathways for work experience, apprenticeships, and degree apprenticeships in Cyber Security. There has never been a better time to study Computing-related courses at Prior Pursglove College. Well done to Paul and the team on this amazing achievement.
