Carl Turland
B.A. (Hons), CELTA, QTS
Founder and Administrator of Coding at School
I was employed as a systems programmer at Sky News and Sky Sports before moving into teaching. I initially taught and was director of studies for a school in Bogor, Indonesia before returning to the UK to obtain my QTS. I have taught in state schools in Surrey, but currently teach at an independent school (Hampton Court House) where I have enjoyed introducing Computer Science as a subject from year 5 to year 11.

Richard Russell
M.A. C.Eng. M.I.E.T.
I worked for the BBC for more than 30 years as a Research and Development engineer, during which time I was involved in several high-profile projects. I was the BBC’s principal technical expert in the selection of Acorn as the supplier of the BBC Microcomputer and in the specification of BBC BASIC. I have developed versions of BBC BASIC for a number of platforms including CP/M, MS-DOS and Windows, and have also implemented some extensions to the language to keep it relevant to today’s programming and educational needs.
