Town figures are the ONS built-up areas, and we cross-checked every one by totalling the census output areas inside it. | Town | Residents | Town | Residents | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Norwich | 200,770 | Wymondham | 16,330 | | King's Lynn | 47,615 | Taverham and Drayton | 14,985 | | Great Yarmouth | 28,985 | North Walsham | 12,825 | | Thetford | 25,510 | Bradwell | 11,630 | | Gorleston-on-Sea | 24,470 | Watton | 11,545 | | Dereham | 20,785 | Downham Market | 11,350 | The ONS Norwich area spreads well past the city council's edge into Broadland and South Norfolk, which is why it holds 200,770 people while Norwich district has 143,922. After Norwich, no town reaches fifty thousand, and many Norfolk families live in places like Attleborough, Diss, Caister-on-Sea, Swaffham, Fakenham, Cromer, Aylsham and Sheringham. Wisbech is left off because nearly all of it lies in Cambridgeshire. King's Lynn and West Norfolk is the largest district at 154,325 and Great Yarmouth the smallest at 99,748. Norfolk County Council and academy trusts set school dates, which we have not read; lesson breaks follow each family's calendar. ### Norwich has its own page Our [Norwich](/best-coding-class-in-norwich) page has a separate project, on the city's medieval churches. This page is for everyone else, from Downham Market to Caister. The Norfolk project ## Finding the top of a curve in thirty tries A textbook formula for wind power, three ways to search it, and a curve that tricks the fastest one. Suppose a turbine slows the wind passing through it by a fraction a. The standard formula for the share of the wind's power an ideal rotor can capture is 4a(1 − a)². Slow the air too little and most of it passes straight through; slow it too much and it backs up. Somewhere between 0 and a half is a sweet spot, and the learner's job is to find it by trying values of a, counting every try. Calculus gives the answer as a third, with a share of 16/27, about 59.3 per cent, known as the Betz limit. The program should reach the same answer without it. | Precision wanted | A list of evenly spaced guesses | Ternary search | Golden-section search | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | To 0.001 | 501 | 32 | 15 | | To one millionth | 500,001 | 66 | 30 | | To one billionth | 500,000,000 | 100 | 44 | The simple approach tries a value every so often across the range and keeps the largest. It works, but each extra digit of precision multiplies the work by ten. Ternary search is smarter: it tries two points, throws away the third of the range that cannot contain the top, and repeats. Golden-section search does the same but places its two points at the golden ratio, about 0.618, so that one of them can be reused next round. It needs only one new try per step, and it found a = 0.333333 and a share of 0.592593 after 30 tries, against 500,001 for the list of guesses. Now the trap. Both clever searches assume the curve has a single peak. The learner draws an invented curve with two hills, a lower one of height 1.0 near 0.2 and a higher one of 1.3 near 0.75, and runs golden-section search over the whole range. It returns 0.2, the lower hill, and reports it with complete confidence. Nothing in the answer warns that a better peak exists. The fast method is only as good as the assumption behind it, and checking that assumption is part of the job. ### Ages 8 to 11 Play higher-or-lower for a hidden number, count the guesses, and discover why halving the range each time wins. ### Ages 11 to 15 Plot 4a(1 − a)² in Python, find its peak by listing values, then by ternary search, and compare the counts. ### Ages 15 and up Write golden-section search with the reused point, prove the 0.618 shrink per step, and build the two-hill counterexample. ### What is published and what is ours The wind farm facts come from the operators' own pages. The power formula is the standard textbook one for an idealised rotor; real turbines capture less. The search counts and the two-hill curve are our own teaching runs, and nothing here describes how any Norfolk turbine is controlled. Why the Norfolk coast ## Three wind farms, one hard limit The Norfolk link, from the operators' own descriptions. | Wind farm | Where | What the operator says | | --- | --- | --- | | Scroby Sands (RWE) | 2.5 km off Great Yarmouth | Commissioned March 2004, one of the UK's first commercial offshore wind farms; 60 megawatts. | | Sheringham Shoal | 17 to 23 km off North Norfolk | 317 megawatts from 88 turbines, generating around 1.1 terawatt hours a year. | | Dudgeon | 32 km off Cromer | Completed late 2017; 402 megawatts from 67 turbines of 6 megawatts each. | Two more pieces of arithmetic come from those figures, and both are ours. Sheringham Shoal's 317 megawatts shared over 88 turbines is about 3.6 megawatts each, while Dudgeon's are 6, which shows how quickly turbines grew. And if Sheringham Shoal ran flat out all year it would make 317 × 8,760 megawatt hours; its published output of around 1.1 terawatt hours is about 39.6 per cent of that. That share, called a capacity factor, is a reminder that wind does not blow at full strength all the time, and that the Betz limit is a ceiling nobody reaches. We are not connected with RWE, Equinor, the owners of Sheringham Shoal or Dudgeon, or Norfolk County Council. The operators' figures are theirs; the searches and our arithmetic are ours, and so are any mistakes.

[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)[Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)Ages 13 to 18 ### Algorithms that scale Searching, sorting and optimising, with each method measured by the work it needs. [Problem Solving for Teens](/courses/problem-solving-dsa-masterclass-teens)[Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)Ages 18 to 67 ### Python at work Python for adults, from basics to scripts and analysis that answer real questions quickly. [Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)AI and optimisation ## Machine learning climbs curves all day. What if there are two hills? Training an AI is a search for good settings, and the same trap is waiting. Every machine learning model is trained by searching for settings that make its errors as small as possible, one step at a time, much like the searches on this page. Those methods are fast because they assume the ground slopes the right way. On a landscape with more than one valley or hill they can settle on a poor answer and report it with the same confidence as a good one, exactly as golden-section search did on our two-hill curve. A Norfolk student who has built the counterexample knows the questions to ask of any optimised result: where did the search start, what did it assume about the shape, and has anyone tried starting somewhere else? Those questions separate people who can use AI tools from people who can judge them. So a young person in Norfolk should learn to code in 2026 to understand when a fast answer can be trusted. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## From the Fens to the Broads without a drive Norfolk is large and rural, and weekly trips to a class in Norwich can swallow an evening. Online lessons save the journey. ### Learning from home A farmhouse near Swaffham, a terrace in Gorleston, a bungalow in Watton. The teacher shares a screen and the learner writes the code. ### Familiar school terms Teachers talk about Year 9, Key Stage 4, GCSE options and A level choices in the way Norfolk pupils hear them at school, in English throughout. ### A first lesson free A genuine lesson, followed by honest advice on level and course. We never ask for card details up front. ### A group at your pace Five to ten learners at the same stage, drawn from Norfolk, the rest of the UK and abroad. ### Holidays on your terms Most learners have two lessons a week, and we pause for your school's own holidays. ### Times given in UK time Each slot is set in UK time and stays put when the clocks change; the teacher, on India time several hours ahead, takes care of the difference. Why level beats location In a county of small towns, five learners at the same level and free on the same evening rarely live near each other. Level-based groups let a learner in Diss or Fakenham join a class that fits. Fees ## Fees in Norfolk Thetford or Sheringham, the price is the same, and so it is in every country we teach other than India. First class**USD 0** A complete lesson with real work, then a recommendation of level and course. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight lessons each month, in a group of five to ten at one level. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight lessons each month, one-to-one. We charge in US dollars and publish no prices in pounds. Billing begins only after the free lesson has agreed a course and a weekly time; the pricing page covers pauses, missed lessons and changes between group and private teaching.

Norfolk's seven districts counted 916,120 usual residents in 2021; we added up the seven ONS district totals published on Nomis to get that figure. ### What are the largest towns in Norfolk? By ONS built-up area: Norwich 200,770, King's Lynn 47,615, Great Yarmouth 28,985, Thetford 25,510 and Gorleston-on-Sea 24,470. ### What is the Norfolk project? Learners find the peak of the wind power formula 4a(1 − a)² in Python, compare a list of guesses, ternary search and golden-section search, and build a two-hill curve on which the fastest search picks the wrong peak. ### What is the Betz limit? The largest share of the wind's power an ideal turbine rotor can capture, 16/27 or about 59.3 per cent, reached when the rotor slows the wind by a third. Real turbines capture less. ### What is golden-section search? A way to find the top of a curve with one peak by repeatedly narrowing the range, placing test points at the golden ratio so one point can be reused each step. On this page it needed 30 tries for six-figure precision. ### Is there a Norfolk classroom? No. All lessons are live online, so learners anywhere in the county join from home. ### What ages do you take? From 6 to 67. Children begin with block coding, most move to typed Python around ten, teenagers go on to algorithms and advanced Python, and adults learn Python or data. The free lesson decides the starting level. ### Do you teach algorithms to teenagers? Yes. The teen problem solving and algorithms course covers searching, sorting and more, always measuring how much work each method needs. ### How much do lessons cost? The first lesson is free. After that it is USD 100 a month in a group and USD 150 a month one-to-one, with no joining fee and no lock-in. ### Do you follow Norfolk school holidays? We can. Norfolk County Council and academy trusts publish their own term dates; share yours and we plan breaks around them.
