Cyber First Silver Award

We are proud to announce that Pioneer House has made history as the first SEN school in the UK to be awarded the prestigious CyberFirst Silver Award by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). This national recognition marks a significant milestone in our journey to champion digital literacy and cyber awareness for all students.


The award celebrates our commitment to embedding high-quality cyber security education across our curriculum and enrichment activities. It also reflects the strong partnerships we are building with industry leaders to ensure our students are equipped with the skills, knowledge and confidence to thrive in a digitally connected world.


With technology rapidly advancing, we know that digital awareness is vital. As more of our daily lives move online, we are determined to prepare students for the opportunities and risks that come with it. This award confirms we are doing just that.


Our Silver Award status opens new doors for students interested in the rapidly growing cyber sector and helps to ensure their learning remains relevant, engaging, and forward-thinking. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and excited about what it means for the future of our learners.
CyberFirst is part of a national drive to promote greater diversity in the cyber security workforce. We are delighted to play a role in this important mission and even more delighted to be recognised for it.
