Coding that just fits
Transition your students from block-based coding to Python with guided lessons, open-ended activities and the ability to translate block-code to Python in both directions.
Transition your students from block-based coding to Python with guided lessons, open-ended activities and the ability to translate block-code to Python in both directions.
Python in Pieces is an interactive coding environment, designed to build student and teacher confidence in the text-based coding language of Python. With the ability to easily translate from block-code to Python, in BOTH directions, students will quickly become empowered to progress from the expectations of KS2 through to KS3. The guided lessons allow students to manage their own learning and teacher solution guides enable teachers to support student learning at every step.
Designed by teachers to empower the specialist and non-specialist to teach KS3 coding with confidence. Enabling students to transition from block-based code to text-based code, whilst encouraging creativity.
Designed around the curriculum
All 18 lessons are mapped to the curriculum and have been designed for classroom delivery and to support home learning.
Guided lesson activities
Explainer videos, task lists, hints and teacher solution guides are available for every lesson.
Clear progression
Teachers can review whole class and individual performance, whilst students can monitor their own progression.
Ability to flip between block-based coding and Python in both directions allowing students to explore, test and understand their code.
Step-by-step lessons with instructional videos.
Free-code areas to test their knowledge and unleash their creativity.
Compatibility with Micro:bit.
Ability to create visually rich programs and games with sprites and background images.

I really am excited about Python in Pieces, I really think it will be the perfect stepping stone between the work we already do with scratch, and introducing python at a younger age.
I really love this software, the innovative concept of having the blocks on one side of the window and the related Python code on the other is a fab idea, both in view at the same time, really allows students (and teachers who are new to Python) to see how the blocks relate to the code and work on which ever one they are more comfortable with.
The pupils are aware of the need to learn both a high level language such as Python (which is very much in vogue currently), and of the broader advantages of learning more fundamental concepts such as algorithmic thinking, abstraction and decomposition. Python in Pieces matches this need.
