The table shows ONS built-up areas that lie wholly inside it. | Place | Usual residents | Place | Usual residents | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Newcastle upon Tyne | 286,445 | Stockton-on-Tees | 84,815 | | Sunderland | 168,315 | South Shields | 73,345 | | Middlesbrough | 148,215 | Tynemouth | 60,605 | | Gateshead | 115,280 | Washington | 51,320 | | Hartlepool | 87,995 | Durham | 50,510 | | Wallsend | 45,355 | Redcar | 37,660 | The ONS lookup lists 12 local authorities in the North East, the smallest count of the English regions. Darlington is not in the table because its built-up area crosses the regional boundary. Classrooms across the region use the English national curriculum, with GCSE and A level papers set by more than one exam board. School holidays differ from council to council, so we simply work to the calendar each family gives us. Our North East pages, each with a separate local project, link from here once published: [County Durham](/coding-classes-in-county-durham), [Durham](/best-coding-class-in-durham), [Newcastle upon Tyne](/best-coding-class-in-newcastle-upon-tyne), [Northumberland](/coding-classes-in-northumberland), [Sunderland](/best-coding-class-in-sunderland), [Tyne and Wear](/coding-classes-in-tyne-and-wear). ### England and NEA help Read our [England](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-england) page for the school system, and [A level Computer Science NEA help](/a-level-computer-science-nea-help) for the project year. The North East project ## Cold, normal or warm, compared with when? Sort thirty years, cut them into thirds, and label new years by the cuts. The learner computes each complete year's mean temperature at Durham from its twelve monthly values, skipping 1883 because a month is missing. For a reference period of thirty years, the program sorts the annual means and places two cut points: one between the 10th and 11th coolest years and one between the 20th and 21st. Anything at or below the first cut is cold, anything above the second is warm, and the rest is normal. Then it labels the thirty years from 1991 to 2020 against three different reference periods. | Reference period | Cut points | Warm years | Normal and cold years | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1881 to 1910 (29 complete years) | 7.90 and 8.44 C | 28 of 30 | 2 normal, 0 cold | | 1961 to 1990 | 8.37 and 8.79 C | 25 of 30 | 4 normal, 1 cold | | 1991 to 2020 itself | 9.27 and 9.77 C | 10 of 30 | 10 normal, 10 cold | Every row is correct, and together they tell a clear story: Durham's recent years sit well above the older normals. Against 1961 to 1990, all five years from 2021 to 2025 are warm as well, and 2022, at 10.57 degrees, is the warmest complete year in the whole record, while the coldest is 1892 at 7.23. But the last row shows the trap. Terciles built from the same years they classify must split ten, ten and ten, whatever happened. A report that says "a third of recent years were warm" without naming its baseline could be hiding a big shift. Two programming details matter. The cut points need a rule for where exactly to cut between two ranked years; we take the midpoint, and other rules move the boundary slightly, so the rule must be written down. And a year sitting exactly on a cut needs a tie rule too. The learner writes tests: labels against their own baseline must come out ten, ten and ten, and shifting every year up by a degree must never make any year colder. ### Ages 8 to 11 Sort thirty cards into three piles in Scratch, then see which pile new cards land in. ### Ages 11 to 15 Compute annual means in Python, sort them, find the cuts and label the years. ### Ages 15 and up Compare baselines, write the tie and cut rules, and test the ten-ten-ten property. ### Met Office data, our labels The monthly temperatures come from the Met Office Durham file. The annual means, cut points and labels are our calculations, not the Met Office's own classifications. Why Durham ## Nearly 150 years of monthly temperatures How the Durham station file describes itself. | Header line | Content | | --- | --- | | Grid position | 426700E 541500N | | Coordinates | Lat 54.768, Lon -1.585 | | Altitude | 102 m above mean sea level | | Earliest month | January 1880 | | Complete years in 1881 to 1910 | 29 (1883 has a missing month) | Labels like high, normal and low appear everywhere, from school reports to medical tests to product ratings, and every one depends on a reference group. A learner in North East England who has seen the same year called warm or normal depending on the baseline will always ask what a label is being compared with. Modern Age Coders is not linked to the Met Office or the ONS. The records are theirs; the terciles and labels here, including any mistake, are ours. Learning route ## From sorting cards to classification Treat year bands as a starting guess; the free lesson confirms the level. Years 1 to 4 ### Sorting and grouping Block coding that sorts and groups objects. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Years 5 to 8 ### Sorting in Python Python lists, sorting and simple labels. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Years 9 to 13 ### Classification and AI Quantiles, classification and machine learning basics with GCSE and A level. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[High School Mathematics](/courses/complete-high-school-mathematics-mastery)Adults ### Honest reporting Adult Python for analysis and clear, fair summaries. [Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and labels ## An AI can call a year warm. Compared with which years? A label without a baseline is only half an answer. Ask a chatbot whether a recent year was unusually warm and it may answer yes or no without saying which period it compared against. Different baselines can give opposite answers from the same data. A North East learner who has built terciles against three baselines knows to ask what any label is measured against. Always checking the yardstick behind a label is a habit a North East teenager builds by coding through 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Practical details ## From Redcar to Newcastle, all online Every town in the region can join by video. ### Typing is theirs The learner writes the code; the tutor looks on via the shared screen and prompts only when useful. ### Placed by school year A Year 5 in Wallsend or a Year 11 in Stockton-on-Tees joins at the level their year suggests, with exams named by their board. ### First lesson free A complete trial lesson at no charge, then direct advice. ### Classes at one level Five to ten learners per class, all at the same stage, from across the UK. ### Term-time lessons Two a week in term, none in the holidays. ### UK time kept The clocks change; your lesson time does not. Our teachers adjust instead. Why groups meet online Five learners at one level and one free hour are rarely in the same town. Online, a learner in Redcar or South Shields joins the right class. Fees ## Fees in the North East There is one fee for the whole region, and it is the same in every country we teach outside India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson free, then an honest recommendation. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight lessons each month in a group of five to ten. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight lessons each month with a personal tutor. Prices are in US dollars only, never sterling. Billing starts once the trial has agreed a course and a weekly slot, and the pricing page explains holidays, missed lessons and switching formats.
