Every town listed is an ONS built-up area contained completely within the region. | Place | People | Place | People | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bristol | 425,215 | Exeter | 126,175 | | Plymouth | 266,955 | Gloucester | 118,555 | | Bournemouth | 196,455 | Cheltenham | 115,940 | | Swindon | 183,680 | Bath | 94,080 | | Kingswood and Fishponds | 160,270 | Taunton | 61,665 | | Poole | 141,005 | Torquay | 52,035 | ONS counts Kingswood and Fishponds as a built-up area of its own, separate from Bristol. According to the ONS lookup the region holds 30 local authorities. Schooling follows England's national curriculum, Reception to Year 13, with GCSE and A level papers from several boards; term dates vary between councils, so we ask each family for theirs. Each of our South West pages has its own local project, and they are linked below as they go live: [Bath](/best-coding-class-in-bath), [Bristol](/best-coding-class-in-bristol), [Cornwall](/coding-classes-in-cornwall), [Devon](/coding-classes-in-devon), [Dorset](/coding-classes-in-dorset), [Exeter](/best-coding-class-in-exeter), [Gloucester](/best-coding-class-in-gloucester), [Gloucestershire](/coding-classes-in-gloucestershire), [Plymouth](/best-coding-class-in-plymouth), [Salisbury](/best-coding-class-in-salisbury), [Somerset](/coding-classes-in-somerset), [Truro](/best-coding-class-in-truro), [Wells](/best-coding-class-in-wells), [Wiltshire](/coding-classes-in-wiltshire). ### England and exam support For how schooling works nationally, see our [England](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-england) page, and for the coursework year, [A level Computer Science NEA help](/a-level-computer-science-nea-help). The South West project ## Day against night at two stations Subtract the night from the day, month by month, and compare. Each line of a Met Office station file gives a month's average daily maximum and average daily minimum. Subtracting one from the other gives the average diurnal range for that month. The learner parses both files, keeps 1991 to 2020, confirms that all 360 months are present at each station, and averages each calendar month. Then comes a neat bit of algebra: because averaging is linear, the average of the differences equals the difference of the averages, and the program checks that the two routes agree to the last decimal. | Measure | Camborne, Cornwall | Yeovilton, Somerset | Comment | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Yearly average daily swing | 5.04 C | 8.40 C | Yeovilton swings 1.67 times as much | | January | 4.31 C | 6.64 C | Smallest in winter at both | | May | 5.72 C | 9.71 C | Largest month at both | | May minus January | 1.41 C | 3.07 C | The inland station changes more with the seasons | | Warmest minus coldest month | 9.29 C | 11.79 C | A different measure: the yearly range | Camborne's station sits about 2.4 kilometres from tidal water by our check against the ONS coastline boundary, and the sea changes temperature slowly, so it keeps nights mild and days cool. Yeovilton, about 17 kilometres from the nearest tidal water, heats and cools more freely. May tops both lists, most likely because its long days warm the afternoons while its nights can still be cold; by midsummer the nights are warmer too. The yearly averages are close, 11.11 at Camborne and 10.67 at Yeovilton, which shows how little an average alone can say about what a place feels like. The slip worth hunting is confusing two kinds of range. The diurnal range is the gap within a typical day; the yearly range is the gap between the warmest and coldest months. At Camborne they are about 5 and 9 degrees, at Yeovilton about 8 and 12. Mix them in a report and the numbers look plausible but mean something else entirely. The learner labels every result with what it measures and writes a test that the yearly range is computed from monthly means, not from maxima and minima. ### Ages 8 to 11 Read a thermometer morning and afternoon for a week, then plot the gaps in Scratch. ### Ages 11 to 15 Parse the files in Python, subtract, average, and check both routes give the same answer. ### Ages 15 and up Explain the May peak, compare more stations, and write tests that stop the two ranges being confused. ### Met Office values, our arithmetic The monthly maxima and minima come from the Met Office's station files. The ranges and averages are our own sums, and the distances come from our check of the ONS boundary, so they are careful estimates rather than official figures. About the two stations ## Cornwall and Somerset records How the two station files describe their sites. | Detail | Camborne | Yeovilton | | --- | --- | --- | | Grid reference | 162700E 40700N | 355100E 123200N | | Latitude and longitude | Lat 50.218, Lon -5.327 | Lat 51.006, Lon -2.641 | | Height | 87 m above mean sea level | 20 m above mean sea level | | Complete months, 1991 to 2020 | All 360 | All 360 | | Measurements | Monthly maximum and minimum temperature, frost days, rain, sunshine | The same set | Knowing exactly what a number measures is at the heart of data science, engineering and good reporting. Energy companies care about the daily swing because it drives heating demand overnight; farmers care because it shapes frost and ripening. A South West learner who can state precisely which range they have computed, and prove two calculations agree, is doing the careful work that makes data trustworthy. We are not connected with the Met Office or the Office for National Statistics; they publish the data, and the ranges on this page, with any slip in them, are ours. The learning path ## From thermometers to data analysis Year groups here are indicative; the trial lesson decides. Years 1 to 4 ### Measure and plot Block coding that records and charts simple measurements. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Years 5 to 8 ### Files and averages Python that reads data files and averages them. [Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)[Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)Years 9 to 13 ### Data and AI Statistics, algebra and machine learning basics, alongside GCSE and A level. [High School Mathematics](/courses/complete-high-school-mathematics-mastery)[Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)Adults ### Practical analysis Python for adults, from reading files to reporting results. [Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and definitions ## An AI can quote a temperature range. Which range does it mean? Two correct numbers can answer two different questions. Ask a chatbot for the temperature range of a place and it may give a daily swing, a yearly swing or a record extreme without saying which. All three are real numbers; only one answers your question. A South West learner who has computed both ranges from raw files knows to ask what exactly a number measures before relying on it. Pinning down what a number really measures is a good reason for a South West 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). Practicalities ## From Penzance to Gloucester, all online Coast, moor or city, one video link reaches every home. ### Code by the learner Students do all the typing themselves; the tutor follows their screen and asks the question that moves them on. ### School years in England A Year 6 in Poole or a Year 11 in Bath is placed by year group and key stage, and we use each board's own exam names. ### A free first session Your first full lesson carries no charge and ends with a clear suggestion. ### Classes at one level Every class has five to ten learners at the same stage, gathered nationwide. ### Weeks in term Lessons run twice weekly through term and stop for the holidays. ### British time, all year Clock changes in March and October leave your lesson time unchanged; our teachers move theirs. Why a long, rural region suits online classes Even in a region of 5.7 million, five learners at one level and hour are rarely neighbours. Online, a learner in Taunton or Torquay joins exactly the right class. Fees ## South West fees Bristol and Truro pay one and the same fee, matching every country we teach outside India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson for free, then our honest view. Group tuition**USD 100** Near eight lessons a month in a class of five to ten. Private tuition**USD 150** Near eight lessons a month with a dedicated tutor. Billing is in US dollars, never pounds, and begins only after the trial has fixed a course and a weekly time. Holidays, missed lessons and switching between group and private are all set out on the pricing page.

The South West region had 5,701,186 usual residents at the 2021 census. ### What are the largest towns in South West England? Among ONS built-up areas wholly in the region: Bristol 425,215, Plymouth 266,955 and Bournemouth 196,455. ### What is the Camborne and Yeovilton project? Learners compute the average daily temperature swing at two Met Office stations in Python and explain why Camborne's is so much smaller. ### What is the diurnal range? The difference between a day's highest and lowest temperature, usually averaged over a month or a year. ### Why is Camborne's daily swing smaller? Its station is close to tidal water, and the sea keeps nights milder and days cooler than further from it. ### Are lessons held online? Yes, every lesson is live online from home. ### Can you help with GCSE and A level? Yes, in maths and computing, with understanding as the goal rather than promised grades. ### Which ages do you teach? Six to 67: first blocks for children through to adult Python and AI. ### How much do lessons cost? No charge for the trial; after that USD 100 a month for a class or USD 150 a month one-to-one. ### Are there lessons in the school holidays? No. Tell us your holiday weeks and we pause for them.
