North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) has secured its place in the nationally acclaimed Digital Schoolhouse Programme for the 2025/26 academic year.
This continued recognition reflects the exceptional work of college tutors whose commitment to creative and inspiring computing education has played a vital role in securing NWSLC’s place in the programme for another year.
Digital Schoolhouse, delivered by the UK games industry trade body Ukie in collaboration with Nintendo UK and supported by major industry players such as Xbox, Ubisoft, and Electronic Arts, brings computing to life through a unique play-based learning approach. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between education and the digital and video games industry, offering students access to dynamic, careers-focused computing education.
As part of its reacceptance, the college will receive a £1500 bursary to support ongoing delivery of Digital Schoolhouse workshops and resources, designed to inspire the next generation of digital creators. These hands-on, inventive computing workshops reach schools across the UK – and increasingly, internationally.
Gareth Jandrell, Programme Communications Officer for Digital Schoolhouse, praised the college’s ongoing impact, he said: “Thank you once again for your incredible work and for being an integral part of the Digital Schoolhouse community.
“We look forward to another successful year of inspiring the next generation of digital creators.”

Shoubna Naika-Taylor, a Lecturer and Esports Course Coordinator at NWSLC said: “We love to collaborate and support learners and staff with exciting, educational experiences. Through Digital Schoolhouse, we’re able to connect computing with creativity and real-world application whether it’s through gaming, coding, or problem-solving. These workshops not only spark curiosity but also help students understand the wide range of career opportunities in the digital sector. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a programme that empowers the next generation of digital innovators.”
