The borough stretches well beyond the town and takes in other built-up areas, so one row cannot be worked out from the other. postcodes.io records Burbage and Sketchley as suburban areas in the LE10 postcode district, Barwell as a village and Earl Shilton as a town in LE9, and Stoke Golding as a village in CV13, all of them in Hinckley and Bosworth. Hinckley schools teach the English national curriculum. We fit lessons to the school year, from Year 2 through Year 13, and can follow GCSE and A level computer science and maths. ### More in Leicestershire Have a look at [coding classes in Leicestershire](/coding-classes-in-leicestershire) and [Loughborough](/best-coding-and-ai-classes-in-loughborough). Our case for thinking before tools is made in [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Hinckley project ## The cyclomatic number: counting loops by subtraction Links, minus points, plus one. A single OpenStreetMap query returns 1,324 mapped roads in a box around Hinckley, from main roads to residential streets. Joined together, the largest connected piece has 8,524 mapped points and 8,805 short segments between them. Most of those points are just bends. Setting the bends aside leaves the points that matter: 673 dead ends and 1,195 junctions, of which 1,156 are three-way, 38 four-way and one five-way. That makes 1,868 points, and there are 2,149 stretches of street linking them. | How the network is described | Points | Links | Links - points + 1 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Every mapped point and segment | 8,524 | 8,805 | 282 | | Dead ends and junctions only | 1,868 | 2,149 | 282 | | After removing all dead-end branches | 5,196 | 5,477 | 282 | The answer is 282 every time, and that is the point. Adding a bend to a road adds one point and one link, so the subtraction does not notice. Cutting off a cul-de-sac removes one point and one link, so it does not notice that either. The number only changes when a loop is made or broken. To be sure the formula was not fooling us, the learner asks a graph library to list a full set of independent loops directly, and it returns 282 of them. Seen from the other side: a network with no loops at all, a tree, would need 8,523 of the segments to keep everything joined, and the remaining 282 are the ones that each close a loop. On a perfectly flat map, 282 would also be the number of enclosed blocks, the patches of land with streets all the way round. Hinckley is not perfectly flat in that sense: 11 of the mapped roads are tagged as a bridge or tunnel, where one road crosses another without joining it. So we describe 282 as the number of independent loops, which is exact, and only roughly as a count of blocks. A second limit: roads leaving the box are cut at its edge and counted as dead ends, which can hide loops that close outside it. Now the same idea on code. Draw a Python function as a flowchart and every if, every loop and every "and" or "or" adds a branch. McCabe's cyclomatic complexity is the number of independent routes through that chart, and the shortcut is to count the decision points and add one. The learner writes a small tool using Python's ast module and points it at the scripts that did the street analysis. The loop-counting function scores 7 and the branch-peeling function 8. The function that loads the map scores 16. McCabe's paper recommended splitting up any routine that scored above 10, so by our own measure that one deserves splitting, and we say so. ### Ages 8 to 11 Draw dots and lines, count both, and check that lines minus dots plus one equals the loops you can see. ### Ages 11 to 15 Build the Hinckley network in Python and show that bends and dead ends do not change the answer. ### Ages 15 and up Confirm 282 with a cycle basis, then write a complexity counter and run it on your own code. ### Map credit and caveats Street data (C) OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database Licence, read 30 September 2026. The network, the counts and the complexity scores are our own calculations. The box also takes in ground beyond Hinckley itself, and a different box would give a different number. Measuring code ## What counting loops teaches about vibe coding and AI agents When an AI writes the code, you still need a way to judge what you were given. | What the project showed | Why it matters with AI | | --- | --- | | One subtraction replaced tracing every loop | Look for the quantity that answers the question | | Bends and dead ends left 282 unchanged | Know what your measure ignores | | A library's list of loops also had 282 | Check a formula by a second route | | Our map loader scored 16 | Measure your own work by the same rule | | Each branch is a path that needs a test | Complex code needs more tests than it usually gets | Vibe coding means describing what you want in plain English and letting an AI write the program. The AI does not tire, so it will cheerfully produce one enormous function with dozens of branches, and the result may even run. The cyclomatic number tells you, before you read a line, roughly how many separate test cases that function needs. A learner who knows this can give the AI a better instruction, such as keeping every function under a stated complexity, and can check that it obeyed. The idea matters for AI agents as well. An agent is a program that plans and takes steps toward a goal, and its plan is a graph of choices; the more independent paths through it, the more ways it can go wrong and the more there is to test. Agent projects wait until Python feels natural to the learner, which for most means sixth form or adulthood; anything built in Copilot Studio is taught privately and never to a group. Follow on with [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk) and [AI agents for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk). None of OpenStreetMap, the Office for National Statistics or postcodes.io is connected to Modern Age Coders. The open data is theirs; the processing and the figures drawn from it are ours.

[Data Structures & Algorithms Course](/courses/data-structures-algorithms-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)Code you can trust ## What is cyclomatic complexity, and how do you measure how complicated code is? Cyclomatic complexity is the number of independent paths through a piece of code, found by counting its decision points and adding one, and it measures how complicated code is by telling you the smallest number of test cases needed to exercise every branch. The network version of the idea, links minus points plus one, gave 282 independent loops for Hinckley's street network whether we counted 8,524 mapped points or only the 1,868 junctions and dead ends. Turned on our own scripts, it scored one function at 16, over the usual limit of 10, which is a prompt to simplify before anyone else has to test it. That habit of measuring what an AI hands you is why coding still matters for Hinckley teenagers in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). What to expect ## Inside a Hinckley lesson We teach through live video calls. The learner needs their own computer and camera and a space where they can work undisturbed. ### The learner writes Code goes in through the learner's keyboard on a shared screen; the tutor asks and advises. ### Begin with a free lesson It is a full session, and it tells us which course to recommend. ### No card, no commitment The trial is booked with contact details alone. ### One level per class Five to ten learners, matched by stage, from across the United Kingdom. ### Twice a week During term, with Leicestershire school holidays off when you tell us the dates. ### A fixed UK time The seasonal clock change is handled by our tutors, not by you. Why online With the learner's screen shared, the tutor follows each keystroke, and a countrywide intake means classes can be formed at one level.

FAQ ## Hinckley questions and answers Loops, code complexity, the courses, vibe coding and the practical points. ### What is the population of Hinckley? The ONS counted 50,725 usual residents in the Hinckley built-up area at the 2021 census, and 113,642 in the borough of Hinckley and Bosworth. ### Can I get coding and AI classes in Hinckley? Yes. They are live online lessons for ages 6 to 67, so Hinckley, Burbage, Sketchley, Barwell and Earl Shilton are all covered. ### What is cyclomatic complexity? It is a measure of how many independent paths run through a piece of code. You can find it by counting the decision points, such as if statements and loops, and adding one. ### What is the circuit rank of a graph? Circuit rank, also called the cyclomatic number, is the number of independent loops in a network: links minus points plus the number of connected pieces. ### What did the Hinckley project find? The town's street network, with 1,868 junctions and dead ends and 2,149 links, contains 282 independent loops, and the count is the same however the bends are treated. ### Is vibe coding taught to children? Yes. Children tell an AI what to make, then read and test what it wrote before keeping it. ### When do learners meet AI agents? When Python comes naturally, for most in sixth form or later. Copilot Studio is taught in private lessons. ### Will this help with GCSE or A level computer science? Those specifications cover graphs, algorithms, testing and programming. We aim at real understanding and never guarantee a result. ### What do lessons cost? The first lesson is free. Group tuition is then USD 100 a month and one-to-one tuition USD 150 a month. ### Are there breaks for school holidays? Yes. Send us the dates and we will pause lessons.
