Which online coding class in the UK is the right one for my child?
The one that suits their school system and stage and passes seven checks: a teacher who knows them, a prediction before typing, code read by a person, the right curriculum or board, UK hours, AI used openly, and proof you can look up.
Are fewer students taking GCSE Computer Science?
In England, yes, on Ofqual's provisional figures: GCSE computing entries fell from 89,610 in 2025 to 83,330 in 2026, down 7.0 percent, while A level computing entries rose by 3.5 percent.
What does England's computing curriculum expect at primary school?
By Key Stage 1, pupils should understand that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions; by Key Stage 2, they should explain how simple algorithms work and detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.
Is a free Code Club enough?
As a starting point, often yes: Code Clubs are free, part of the Raspberry Pi Foundation and open to all school-aged young people. Moving up level by level over years usually needs a regular class with a teacher who follows the learner's work.
Should an adult do a Skills Bootcamp or a weekly class?
A Skills Bootcamp, for people aged 19 or over, takes up to 16 weeks and ends with a guaranteed job interview, which suits someone ready for an intensive switch. A weekly class suits someone learning alongside a job at a slower pace. Some people do one after the other.
Do you teach Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish courses?
Yes. Teachers work with National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Computing Science, WJEC's GCSEs in Wales and CCEA's courses in Northern Ireland, as well as the English key stages and boards.
May my child use ChatGPT during lessons?
Once they have said what the code ought to do, yes. Whatever the tool proposes goes into a short log alongside what the learner actually used, which is the kind of record coursework rules in the UK now ask for.
How much are the classes?
The opening lesson is free. Staying on costs USD 100 a month in a group or USD 150 a month for private lessons, in US dollars, with nothing to pay up front and no twelve-month tie-in.
What time would lessons be?
Whichever regular slot you settle on in the free lesson, most often late afternoon, evening or a weekend morning. India is five and a half hours ahead of the UK in winter and four and a half in summer, so times are always given in UK time.
What happens once the form is sent?
We contact you at a UK time that works for you and arrange the free lesson. You pay nothing unless the learner decides to continue.
