Blog

This year will be the last National Coding Week - it will run from 15th to 21st September and this year has the theme of AI.

In addition to the theme, there are a number of ways that schools can get involved: run a coding challenge for students, take part in the Digital skills Challenge or showcase how you are supporting coding in the school.

Python in Pieces is an interactive coding environment, designed for Secondary Schools to enable teachers to confidently teach the Python language while fostering independent learning and giving hands-on experience for students.

In this blog we have hear from two of the developers of the program, where they discuss what Python in Pieces is, and how it supports computing in Secondary schools.

The refreshed and refined Purple Mash Computing Scheme gives primary schools everything they need to confidently teach Computing from EYFS to Year 6. Fully aligned to the UK National Curriculum, the scheme includes updated planning and presentations, interactive resources, and full coverage of Information Technology, Computer Science and Digital Literacy.

Save time and stress by using our Mash Club for your extra-curricular club. Mash Club is an after-school computing club aimed at KS2 students with two terms of 8 self-guided sessions, where your pupils will learn to code and blog (Term 3 coming soon!).

Finalists announced!

Our Games Design competition is now closed. Thank-you to all schools who entered. We had lots of fantastic entries on the theme of Around the World, and our finalists will soon be presenting their games at the Amazon offices in London.
