Ofsted has warned that an ongoing shortage of "suitably qualified" computing teachers will have a significant impact on the quality of education pupils receive. Key findings include:
 - Warning over a lack of qualified computing teachers
 - Call for more computing subject CPD in primary schools
 - Curriculum must be rich in computer science, IT and digital literacy knowledge
 - Teaching pupils to become programmers
 - Do not assume all pupils will be digitally literate
 - E-safety should be an integral part of the curriculum
