How it works

Computing learning in 3 steps

Step 1

Choose a topic

Pick algorithms, Python programming, databases, cyber security, or any area from the KS2–KS4 computing curriculum.

Step 2

Get a personalised lesson

A lesson is created with pseudocode, worked programs, and debugging challenges your child can try on their own computer — matched to their ability and interests.

Step 3

Track progress

Coding knowledge is tracked across algorithms, programming, data, digital systems, and cyber security domains.

What makes it special

Designed for learning at home

Real Programming, Not Just Concepts

Lessons include pseudocode, flowcharts, and working code in Python, JavaScript, or block-based languages your child can run.

Debugging & Problem-Solving

Lessons include 'broken code' challenges where your child finds and fixes errors — building real programming skills.

Adaptive Difficulty

Content scales from Scratch blocks through Python algorithms through GCSE networks — matching your child's coding readiness.

Algorithms, Programming & Systems Tracked

Progress tracked across algorithms, programming, digital systems, networks, and cyber security — showing computational thinking growth.

Learning doesn't stop at computing

When your child asks a question or wants to explore something new, we turn it into a full lesson — or plan a learning adventure around a day out.
