The borough total of 117,264 is a separate census figure. Postcodes.io lists Gedling, Netherfield, Colwick and Porchester as suburban areas within the borough and Burton Joyce as a village. Local schools teach the national curriculum for England; tell us your term dates and lessons will sit inside them. ### Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and how we teach See [coding classes in Nottinghamshire](/coding-classes-in-nottinghamshire) for the county and [the East Midlands page](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-east-midlands) for the region. Our approach is explained on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Carlton project ## Partial dependence plots on a model of 399 Gedling areas Train a model, then ask it one question at a time, and check its answers against the raw data. The learner fetches four Census 2021 tables from Nomis for each of Gedling's 399 output areas. Together the areas hold 51,536 households, and 9,763 of them, 18.94%, had no car or van. A random forest of 500 trees is trained to predict that share for an area from four inputs: population density, the share of one-person households, the share of detached homes and the share of purpose-built flats. Checked by five-fold cross-validation, the forest explains about 73% of the variation between areas it was not trained on (R squared 0.733), against 0.923 on the areas it had seen. | One-person households set to | Average prediction | Detached homes set to | Average prediction | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 15% | 14.8% | 0% | 24.5% | | 20% | 15.8% | 10% | 23.0% | | 30% | 19.3% | 20% | 20.2% | | 40% | 24.7% | 40% | 16.1% | | 50% | 29.2% | 60% | 16.1% | Read down the left pair of columns. With every other input left as it really is, the forest predicts 15.8% when the one-person share is set to 20% and 24.7% when it is set to 40%, a rise of 8.9 points. The right pair falls from 24.5% to 16.1% as the detached share goes from none to 40%, and then stops moving: the model has learned a curve with a flat end, which a straight-line model could not show. Now compare with the raw data. Areas where 15% to 25% of households are one person average 12.3% without a car; areas at 35% to 45% average 25.9%, a gap of 13.6 points. The raw gap is wider than the partial dependence gap because those two groups differ in other ways as well. In the first group about half of homes are detached (49.8%); in the second, under a quarter (23.2%). The plot holds that difference still, and the raw comparison does not. There is a catch in holding things still. Setting an area to 50% one-person households while leaving it with mostly detached houses describes a place that barely exists in Gedling, since the two inputs are correlated (minus 0.42). The forest still gives an answer, but it is guessing outside its experience. And in every case the plot reports what the model predicts, not what would happen if households changed. Nothing here shows a cause. ### Ages 8 to 11 A recipe game: change only the sugar, taste-score each batch, and draw the line. ### Ages 11 to 15 Chart no-car share against one-person share for Gedling areas in Python and describe the pattern. ### Ages 15 and up Train the forest, code partial dependence by hand, and explain why it differs from the raw averages. ### Official counts, our model All household counts are Office for National Statistics Census 2021 data taken from Nomis under the Open Government Licence. The forest, its scores and the partial dependence figures are our calculations and are published nowhere else. They concern areas, never individual households. Opening the box ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents An explanation of a model is a claim too, and it deserves the same checking as a prediction. | In the project | With AI tools | | --- | --- | | The plot showed 8.9 points, the raw data 13.6 | An explanation can disagree with a simple chart; find out why | | Inputs moved together | Changing "one thing" may create a case the model never saw | | Detached curve went flat after 40% | Models learn shapes; ask to see them | | 0.923 on seen areas, 0.733 on unseen | Judge a model on data it did not train on | | The plot described the forest | A model's behaviour is not proof of cause | Vibe coding means describing a program in ordinary words and letting an AI write the first version. Ask a chatbot to "explain the model" and it will happily produce a plot and a confident paragraph about what drives the result. Carlton students learn to request the raw comparison next to it and to ask which inputs are correlated before trusting the story. The same discipline applies to AI agents that analyse data without supervision. We introduce agent building when a learner writes Python unaided, which tends to be in the last years of school or later, and Copilot Studio agents are reserved for one-to-one lessons.

This page has no connection to the Office for National Statistics, Nomis or postcodes.io beyond using their open data. The model and every figure derived from it are our responsibility.

[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)AI and explanation ## What is a partial dependence plot? A partial dependence plot shows how a trained model's average prediction changes as one input is varied while the other inputs are left at their real values. For a random forest trained on 399 Gedling census areas, raising the one-person household share from 20% to 40% moved the average predicted no-car share from 15.8% to 24.7%, less than the 13.6-point gap in the raw averages. Learners who have built the plot by hand know it reports the model's view, and that correlated inputs can push it into cases no real area matches. Carlton teenagers who can code that check are equipped to challenge an AI's explanation, which is a strong argument for learning to program in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How lessons run ## Netherfield, Colwick and Gedling, by video Any reasonably recent computer with a camera and steady internet will do. ### The learner drives Code is typed and run by the student while the tutor watches the screen share and probes the reasoning. ### Level found first We use the trial to see where to begin and to write down the exam board if there is one. ### Trial without payment Session one costs nothing and ends with the course we think fits. ### Small matched classes Groups are five to ten learners at a similar stage, drawn from all over the UK. ### Two sessions a week Term-time rhythm, with school holidays left free on request. ### One fixed hour Tutors move their own clocks when British Summer Time changes; yours stays as booked. Why we teach online Matching learners by level across the country gives every class a sensible pace, something a single neighbourhood rarely has the numbers for.

FAQ ## Carlton questions Partial dependence, the Gedling model, coding, AI and the practical details. ### How many people live in Carlton, Nottinghamshire? The Carlton built-up area had 53,555 residents at the 2021 census according to the ONS. Gedling borough had 117,264. ### Do you teach Carlton learners online? Yes. Classes are live on video for ages 6 to 67, whether you are in Carlton, Netherfield, Colwick, Gedling village or Burton Joyce. ### What is a partial dependence plot? A chart of a model's average prediction as one input is changed and the others are kept as they are. It shows what the model has learned about that input. ### What is a random forest? A model made of many decision trees, each trained on a slightly different sample of the data, whose predictions are averaged. ### What is the Carlton project? Training a forest on Census data for 399 Gedling areas, drawing partial dependence plots, and comparing them with plain averages to see where they differ. ### Does vibe coding feature in lessons? At every level. The learner sets the goal, an AI writes a draft, and the learner tests and corrects it. ### When do learners start on AI agents? Once they can write Python without help, usually late in secondary school or as adults. Copilot Studio agents are one-to-one only. ### Is there help for GCSE or A level? For computer science and maths, yes. The goal is real understanding; no grade is promised. ### What are the fees? Nothing for the first lesson. Then USD 100 each month for a group seat, or USD 150 each month for private lessons. ### What about school holidays? Lessons pause for them if you give us the dates.
