The Billericay School has joined Fujitsu’s highly-rated and innovative Ambassador Programme.

As a result, new Education Innovation Hub has been opened at the school, as part of the programme, which is supported by international companies Intel, Brocade and Kyocera.

The Ambassador Programme is a national engagement initiative led by the four global IT leaders.

It aims to highlight the use of computing power to boost knowledge in science, technology, engineering and maths, known as Stem subjects, and drive forward innovation and digital skills development.

It is hoped this will help the school as well as benefit its wider community.

The opening of the centre follows the announcement of the growth of the Ambassador Programme.

The Billericay School was keen to introduce the programme as it continues to add to the knowledge and experience of its students.
