Four short sprints a day with breaks: learn, practise, a hands-on lab, then a quiz and gap check. Every student leaves with the slides, a lab pack at three levels, model answers, a badge and a certificate.
Bootcamps usually run in school holidays, so they never clash with weekly classes. Groups stay at 12 students at most. Fee per bootcamp: [FEE PER BOOTCAMP].
A story, a picture and a live demo. Every idea is shown visually before any code, using apps students already know.
A hands-on lab at Bronze, Silver and Gold level, so everyone succeeds and strong students are stretched. Builders also get a weekly GCSE Exam Corner.
Free tools, nothing to buy: open-source and free tools that run in a browser. A laptop or Chromebook and a headset are enough.
Builders and Architects build something for a local charity, club or school.
Working engineers talk about their jobs and answer questions, with the instructor present throughout.
One free place per group for a student eligible for free school meals or a girl new to computing.
Four houses (Lovelace, Turing, Hopper, Berners-Lee) earn team points, with a game jam or guest engineer in spare weeks.
A summer showcase and awards in London or Essex, plus optional holiday code days.
Every GCSE and A-Level topic for AQA and OCR, plus the AI and data skills coming into the new GCSE Computing.
Enhanced DBS check with the children's barred list, safeguarding training and a written child protection policy shared with parents.
At most 12 students per group, first names only, cameras optional, a waiting room, and no private one-to-one messages.
Sessions are recorded with parental consent and kept securely for 30 days. Parents may drop in to any session.
Under-13s never create accounts on tools that require 13+, and AI chatbots are only shown by the instructor.
