The Barefoot programme helps support primary teachers with understanding and teaching computing.

This is a core part of our commitment to Tech Literacy, enabling young people to explore, discover and embrace an increasingly digital future.

Since its launch over two years ago, Barefoot has gone from strength to strength, with the latest results including:

35,000 primary teachers supported
130,000 downloads of resources
1 million children reached
Teachers over 95% more confident to teach ‘computational thinking’ after a workshop

If you’re yet to get involved, follow our four simple steps and go Barefoot!

Barefoot has got a shiny new website. It’s been around for a few weeks but you might not have got a chance to see it yet, so head on over! It’s lovely, bright and intuitive with the same areas as the old website but with a brand new look. Why not take a look around?
