What is the best coding class in Ennis?
The census town tables record 27,548 usual residents in Ennis and 10,587 households, of which 8,616 report broadband. Learning with us costs nobody a journey. Twice in most weeks a teacher appears on video at the agreed hour, and the learner works either beside a handful of others at the same stage, never more than ten in all, or with the teacher alone. Ages run from six to sixty-seven. Nothing is charged for the opening lesson, and a shared place afterwards is USD 100 a month against USD 150 for private teaching.
Rank every town with at least 4,000 working residents by the share of them who cycle to work, and Ennis comes 36th of 59, at 1.3390%. Immediately above it sits Kildare town at 1.3394%. The gap between them is four ten-thousandths of a percentage point, which in Ennis is less than one person: add a single cyclist to the town's 164 and the order reverses. Ten more would pass Celbridge, seventeen would pass Gorey, and five fewer would drop Ennis below Castlebar. Then change nothing except who is allowed onto the list. Include towns with 2,000 working residents and Ennis is 49th of 102; at 1,000 it is 59th of 152; at 500 it is 83rd of 263. Same town, same measure, same day, four different ranks.

See the syllabusTowns ranked by the share of working residents whose main means of travel is a bicycle. Counts are published; the list, the cut and the shares are ours.
| Position | Town as published | Cyclists | Working residents | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32 | Drogheda, Counties Louth & Meath | 291 | 19,199 | 1.5157% |
| 33 | Gorey, Co Wexford | 70 | 4,751 | 1.4734% |
| 34 | Celbridge, Co Kildare | 140 | 9,893 | 1.4151% |
| 35 | Kildare, Co Kildare | 62 | 4,629 | 1.3394% |
| 36 | Ennis, Co Clare | 164 | 12,248 | 1.3390% |
| 37 | Castlebar, Co Mayo | 73 | 5,632 | 1.2962% |
| 38 | Arklow, Co Wicklow | 71 | 5,498 | 1.2914% |
| 39 | Rush, Co Dublin | 61 | 4,945 | 1.2336% |
| 40 | Kilcock, Counties Kildare & Meath | 53 | 4,331 | 1.2237% |
Ennis and Kildare town are separated by 0.0004 of a percentage point. A 165th cyclist in Ennis lifts its share to 1.3472% and moves it above Kildare, and nothing whatever has changed about either town.
Ours admits towns with at least 4,000 working residents, which gives 59 of them. Admit towns from 2,000 and Ennis is 49th of 102. From 1,000, 59th of 152. From 500, 83rd of 263. The cut is never neutral and is rarely printed beside the rank.
Positions look evenly spaced and the underlying gaps are not. From 32nd to 40th on this list spans less than three tenths of a percentage point, while the leading town on the same measure is several times higher than any of them.
Sales leaderboards, app store charts, supplier scorecards, country indices, internal team dashboards: a ranking converts a set of measurements into an order, and the order is what gets quoted, screenshotted and acted on. Two things vanish in that conversion. The size of each gap disappears, so a hair and a chasm look identical. The inclusion rule disappears too, so nobody sees that the list was drawn at four thousand rather than five hundred. Publishing the gap beside the position, and the cut beside the list, costs two extra columns and prevents most of the trouble.
The project is a ranking function with a conscience. It sorts, then for every entry it also computes the gap to the position above and how many people would have to change for that gap to close, and it refuses to print a position without both. The learner runs it at each of the four cuts, records the four positions Ennis takes, and writes the single sentence they would be willing to defend in public. On the evidence here that sentence mentions the share, the denominator and the cut, and it never contains the word ahead.
Published for the built-up area Ennis, Co Clare, in the Census 2022 small area tables.
| Measured | Count |
|---|---|
| Usual residents | 27,548 |
| Households | 10,587 |
| Households reporting broadband | 8,616 |
| Working residents in the travel table | 12,248 |
| Residents travelling to school, college or childcare | 7,073 |
| Working residents whose main means is a bicycle | 164 |
Of 12,248 working residents, 7,407 drive, 1,134 walk, 1,031 give home as their main answer, 653 travel by van, 637 go as a car passenger, 164 cycle and 51 take a train.
Of the 7,073 travelling to school, college or childcare, 4,150 go as a car passenger, 1,380 walk, 343 take a bus, 263 drive themselves and 99 cycle.
A table asking about home working directly counts 3,279 working residents doing some work at home, 7,535 who never do and 1,434 who did not state.
The station
Irish Rail gives Ennis station as Quinn Road, Ennis, Co. Clare, Eircode V95 WY02, on the Dublin Heuston to Limerick and Ennis route. It is staffed from 05:00 to 23:30 Monday to Saturday, has toilets, an enclosed waiting room, free Wi-Fi and a ticket machine, and no booking office.
The same 164 cyclists and the same 12,248 working residents, listed against four different inclusion rules and one different mode.
| List | Towns on it | Position of Ennis |
|---|---|---|
| Cycling share, towns with 4,000 or more working residents | 59 | 36th |
| Cycling share, towns with 2,000 or more | 102 | 49th |
| Cycling share, towns with 1,000 or more | 152 | 59th |
| Cycling share, towns with 500 or more | 263 | 83rd |
| Walking share, towns with 4,000 or more | 59 | 33rd |
Smaller towns tend to sit further from the middle on any share, because a handful of people is a larger part of a smaller total. Letting them onto the list changes the field around Ennis without changing Ennis.
On the share walking to work, 1,134 of 12,248, the same town on the same list is 33rd rather than 36th. Choosing the measure is as consequential as choosing the cut.
These are travel shares on one April day, not a verdict on any place. The project is about how a list behaves, and every position here belongs to a list we built and described.
The arts centre
Glor gives its address as Causeway Link, Ennis, Co. Clare, V95 VHP0, and describes a venue with a gallery, a cafe and conference facilities alongside its performance programme. We have no connection with it and reproduce none of its prices.
A fixed hour each week, a teacher in the room with the learner, and work pitched at the right level.
Block coding and first games, at an hour early enough to suit a younger learner.
Python, working websites and AI projects, from first year through Transition Year and into the exam classes.
Data, Python and AI for adults at any level, including the 3,279 residents already doing some work at home.
Two institutions are named above, the railway station and the arts centre, each from information it publishes itself, and we have no relationship with either or with Clare County Council. Census counts appear exactly as the Central Statistics Office published them. The rankings, though, are entirely ours: we picked the measure, drew the inclusion cut, ran the sort, and print all three beside every position, because a position without them is not something we would put our name to.
Ages are a guide; the free lesson finds the level.
Sorting and comparing in block code, and noticing when two things are almost equal.

Assistants are good at producing a position and poor at volunteering the two things that make it meaningful. Ask which towns cycle most and a ranking arrives, usually with no inclusion rule stated and no gaps shown, and a place separated from its neighbour by one person appears as a clean step down the table.
A learner who has built the ranking function asks for the cut and the gap before quoting any position, and supplies both when writing one. That turns an impressive-looking answer into a defensible one, which is the only kind worth sending to somebody else.
Ordering things is the easiest thing a computer does. Knowing when an order means nothing is the part that has to be taught. The longer argument is in why coding still earns its place.
Six points.
A teacher present throughout, responding to the work as the learner does it.
Groups of five to ten at one stage, joining from Ennis, elsewhere in Ireland and abroad.
About eight a month, in a slot chosen once and then kept for the term.
Mid-terms, holidays and exam weeks are planned in before the first lesson.
A computer with a keyboard, working sound, and a connection able to carry video.
Where no group at the right level meets at a workable hour, the same course is taught privately.
No position to defend
Nobody is ranked in our groups. Learners are placed by what they can do and moved when they outgrow it, which is the opposite of a leaderboard.
Three lines, complete.
A full opening lesson, taught and assessed, at no charge.
A month in an ability group of five to ten, about eight live lessons.
A month of private teaching on the same weekly pattern.
Everything is billed monthly in US dollars at the one rate for families outside India, so Ennis sees the same figure as Galway or Navan and no euro list beside it. We invoice once, and only once, a course and a weekly time have both been chosen in the opening lesson; what happens around holidays, a week missed and a switch of format is written out on the pricing page rather than agreed case by case.

Send an age and an interest and we build the first hour from it, whether that turns into a game, a first Python script or a league table taken apart.
What Ennis families ask before booking.
The Census 2022 small area tables count 27,548 usual residents in the built-up area of Ennis, in 10,587 households. Our Clare page quotes the census town list, which counts town populations on a slightly different basis.
Learners build a ranking of towns by the share cycling to work, find Ennis 36th of 59 at 1.3390% with Kildare town 35th at 1.3394%, work out that one cyclist reverses it, then rerun the list at three other inclusion cuts and watch the same town land 49th, 59th and 83rd.
The page does not say, because a position on a list we built is not a verdict on a town. The published facts are 164 cyclists among 12,248 working residents on one April day, and the rest is arithmetic we describe as ours.
Of the 12,248 working residents in the travel table, 7,407 drive, 1,134 walk, 1,031 give working mainly at or from home, 653 use a van, 637 travel as a car passenger, 164 cycle and 51 take a train.
After school, evenings and weekend mornings. Our teachers are in India, four and a half hours in front of Irish clocks while summer time lasts and five and a half afterwards, and we settle a workable weekly hour in the opening lesson.
Yes, to sixty-seven, with no previous coding needed. The opening lesson places an adult in a group at the same stage or with a teacher one to one.
No. There is no ranking, no leaderboard and no class position. Progress is measured against what the learner could do at the start.
No, and we never imply one. Teaching is live over video only, with no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a laptop or desktop, working sound and a steady connection, and the number shown here belongs to India.
The first lesson is free. After that a shared place costs USD 100 a month and brings two live lessons a week, about eight monthly, with five to ten learners; one to one on the same schedule is USD 150 a month. Everything is agreed before payment.
Five to ten, grouped by ability, pace and goal rather than age or address. Where nothing suitable meets at a workable hour, we teach one to one instead.
The county page is County Clare, with Limerick and Galway on either side and the province of Munster around them. Weighing up online schools is what the comparison page is for, and the full index of this cluster sits on the Ireland hub.
