Schools and Colleges

Young people deserve the confidence and skills to thrive in a digital world. At Lancaster, we work with schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts to introduce learners to cyber security in exciting, practical and accessible ways. From CyberFirst activities to teacher CPD, enrichment days and creative challenge programmes, we support educators across the North West to build the next generation of cyber talent.

As a CyberFirst Organisation and a strategic partner of the IN4 Group (the NCSC’s regional delivery partner), we help schools achieve excellence in digital and cyber education. Our outreach aligns with the future TechFirst programme and supports pupils at every stage: curiosity, confidence, and career exploration.

Our work connects directly to the nationally significant North-West Cyber Corridor, including the National Cyber Force and GCHQ Manchester, giving pupils unprecedented exposure to cutting-edge careers and real-world cyber challenges.
