Draft:The CES project

Background
Computer Education in Schools (CES) was a project aimed to support the computing education of secondary school pupils in England. During the 1960s, computers were becoming increasingly commonplace, and Christopher Wysock-Wright realised that a form of organised support would be beneficial to promote the teaching of computing in schools. The original project was started by the John Hoskyns Group (founded by John Hoskyns) in September 1968.

The project proved to be exceedingly popular during the first year, and it was realised that a larger organisation would be needed to take the project forward. The project transferred to International Computers Limited (ICL) in September 1969, and the project came to be known as ICL-CES.
