Listed towns are ONS built-up areas contained wholly in the region. | Town or city | People | Town or city | People | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Leicester | 406,580 | Corby | 68,160 | | Nottingham | 299,790 | Loughborough | 64,860 | | Derby | 275,575 | Mansfield | 63,445 | | Northampton | 243,520 | Kettering | 63,150 | | Lincoln | 104,555 | Wellingborough | 54,425 | | Chesterfield | 76,420 | | | There are 35 local authorities in the region on the ONS lookup. Several large built-up areas, including Sheffield's, cross into the region from outside and are left out. Schools teach the national curriculum for England, with GCSEs and A levels from several boards, and term dates are set locally, so families let us know theirs. Our East Midlands pages each have a project of their own, and link here once they are live: [Derby](/best-coding-class-in-derby), [Derbyshire](/coding-classes-in-derbyshire), Leicester, [Leicestershire](/coding-classes-in-leicestershire), [Lincoln](/best-coding-class-in-lincoln), [Lincolnshire](/coding-classes-in-lincolnshire), [Northamptonshire](/coding-classes-in-northamptonshire), [Nottingham](/best-coding-class-in-nottingham), [Nottinghamshire](/coding-classes-in-nottinghamshire), [Rutland](/coding-classes-in-rutland). ### England and NEA support Our [England](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-england) page covers schooling, and [A level Computer Science NEA help](/a-level-computer-science-nea-help) covers the project component. The East Midlands project ## Average then maximum, or maximum then average? Two orders, two very different answers. The learner loads thirty complete years of Sutton Bonington rain into a table, one row per year and one column per month. Route one averages each column first, then takes the largest average: June, 63.7 millimetres. Route two takes the largest value in each row first, the wettest month of that year, then averages those thirty maxima: 104.4 millimetres. Both are honest calculations on the same numbers. They answer different questions, and mixing them up leads to badly wrong planning. | Question | Method | Answer | What it tells you | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Which month is wettest on average? | Average each month, take the largest | June, 63.7 mm | The long-run seasonal pattern | | How wet is a typical year's wettest month? | Largest month of each year, then average | 104.4 mm | What a single year usually throws at you | | How often is June the wettest? | Count the wettest month in each year | 8 of 30 years | The wettest month moves around | | Which months ever top a year? | The same count, all months | Eleven of twelve; never May | Almost any month can be the wettest | Why is the second answer so much bigger? In any one year, some month is unusually wet, but which month that is changes from year to year. Averaging first smooths those wet spells away, spreading them across the column; taking the maximum first catches each year's wettest spell wherever it falls. So the maximum of the averages is always at most the average of the maxima, and here the gap is about 40 millimetres. The tally makes the point another way: June wins eight times, July and August four each, and even January, December and February have their turns. This matters far beyond rain. A drain sized for the average wettest month would overflow in most years. A shop stocking for its average busiest day would run out on a typical busy day. The learner writes both routes as functions, tests them on a tiny invented table where the answers can be checked by hand, and adds a check that the first route never exceeds the second. The slip to avoid is quietly using one route and describing it in the words of the other. ### Ages 8 to 11 Make a small table of pretend rain, circle each row's biggest number, and compare the two averages in Scratch. ### Ages 11 to 15 Load the real data in Python, compute both routes and the tally of wettest months. ### Ages 15 and up Prove the inequality, try it with the driest month, and connect it to sizing drains and stock levels. ### Met Office data, our calculations The monthly rain totals come from the Met Office Sutton Bonington file. The averages, maxima and tallies are our sums on those values, not official statistics. Why Sutton Bonington ## A record reaching back to 1959 How the station file describes its site. | Detail | What the file says | | --- | --- | | Grid reference | 450700E 325900N | | Latitude and longitude | Lat 52.833, Lon -1.250 | | Height | 48 metres above mean sea level | | Record starts | January 1959 | | Years used | All 30 years from 1991 to 2020 complete for rain | Choosing the right order of operations is one of the quiet skills of data work. Engineers plan for the typical worst case, not the worst average; analysts report which calculation they ran. A learner in the East Midlands who has seen 63.7 become 104.4 just by swapping two steps will read every summary statistic more carefully. We have no affiliation with the Met Office or the ONS. They publish the data; the calculations here, errors included, are ours. Stage by stage ## From puddle charts to proofs The bands below are a sketch; the free lesson decides.

[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and summaries ## An AI can summarise a dataset. Did it average first or take the maximum first? The same question in words can hide two different calculations. Ask a chatbot for the wettest month or the busiest day and it will usually give one number without saying which route produced it. Both routes sound like a fair answer to the question. An East Midlands learner who has computed both, and seen them differ by 40 millimetres, knows to ask exactly how a summary was made. Knowing that the order of steps can change the answer is a strong reason for an East Midlands teenager to keep coding in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## From Lincoln to Corby, lessons at home City or village, a home internet connection is enough. ### The learner types Every program is typed by the student, with the tutor watching the shared screen and asking rather than telling. ### English year groups A Year 4 in Kettering or a Year 13 in Wellingborough is placed by year and key stage, with exam names from their board. ### Trial lesson free The first full lesson is free and ends with plain advice. ### Classes of one level Five to ten learners at a single stage, gathered from around the UK. ### Term-time rhythm Two sessions a week in term and a break for holidays. ### Local time stays Clock changes do not shift your lesson; our teachers adjust their day. Why online groups work across the region Five learners at the same level and free at the same hour are seldom in one town. Online, someone in Loughborough or Mansfield joins exactly the right group. Fees ## East Midlands fees Derby and Lincoln pay the same fee, as do all the countries we teach outside India. First class**USD 0** A complete free lesson, then our advice. Group tuition**USD 100** Roughly eight lessons monthly with five to ten others. Private tuition**USD 150** Roughly eight lessons monthly with a personal tutor. All prices are in US dollars and never in sterling. You are billed only after the trial has chosen a course and weekly slot, and the pricing page explains holidays, missed lessons and format changes.

The 2021 census counted 4,880,054 usual residents in the East Midlands region. ### What are the largest cities in the East Midlands? Among ONS built-up areas wholly in the region: Leicester 406,580, Nottingham 299,790 and Derby 275,575. ### What is the Sutton Bonington project? Learners compare the maximum of monthly average rainfall with the average of each year's wettest month in Python, and find a gap of about 40 mm. ### What is the difference between the mean of the maxima and the maximum of the means? The first finds each group's largest value and averages them; the second averages each column and takes the largest. The first is never smaller. ### How often was June the wettest month at Sutton Bonington? In 8 of the 30 years from 1991 to 2020, on our count of the Met Office data. ### Are the lessons online? Yes, all live on video from home. ### Do you help with GCSE and A level? Yes, in maths and computing. We build understanding and never promise grades. ### Who can join? Learners from 6 to 67. ### How much are lessons? Free first lesson; then USD 100 a month in a class or USD 150 a month privately. ### Do lessons continue over the holidays? No, they pause.
