Exciting News: CyberFirst → TechFirst

We’re transitioning from the CyberFirst Schools Recognition Scheme to the new TechFirst programme! Don’t worry – if your CyberFirst award is valid on 31st August 2026, your Bronze, Silver, or Gold status will transfer seamlessly, with full recognition carried over.

For schools whose agreements end sooner, reapplication will follow the familiar assessment process, with full guidance and support provided. 

Our aim is to make this transition smooth, clear, and exciting for all schools.

More details about TechFirst and next steps will be shared soon – stay tuned!
