Embedded lesson support

Is computing the one lesson you dread? Coding's lesson plans contain learning objectives, success criteria, key vocabulary lists and accompanying explanatory videos, helping teachers feel confident!

Encourages creativity and independence

Whether it's making a space rocket fly, helping Red Riding Hood safely through the forest or feeding a hungry monster, Coding has a challenge to inspire them all!

Our debugging lessons are easy to navigate independently and encourage pupils to experiment with different solutions, meaning you can offer extra support to those who need it, knowing all pupils are on-task.

Ready, set, code!

Using teacher-led or self-guided lessons, pupils start their coding journey with Block Coding and, once their confidence grows, extend their skills with our HTML and Python tutorials.

Plus, we run exciting challenges throughout the year, encouraging your pupils to get creative and have some fun!
