My son enjoyed his week long residential camp with Funtech at Tonbridge. He learned a lot and from my perspective the camp was very well organised. While it's not Funtech's fault that some children are disruptive to the point of impacting negatively other participants' experience, nevertheless ...
FunTech Response
We have a zero tolerance policy on any negative behaviour.
Sadly, this summer we had to ask for one child to be picked up on the Monday due to bad behaviour.
Without going into details there were a number of external factors that we were asked to consider, and against my better judgement and whilst I was having daily conversations with him and his parents, I took the decision to let it him continue.
The FunTech team at Tonbridge should not bear any responsibility for this.
I did consider moving him into a one-to-one group, however, I felt this might affect him negatively.
That said, in hindsight, I should have informed all the other parents of the children in his class, and perhaps we should have asked him to leave.
For this I can only apologise.

My son had a great time at the Python camp. He learned a lot and wishes to continue at the next occasion. Tonbridge school is an amazing place to stay and the accommodation and the food were good, he said. The teachers and staff are qualified and pay attention to any boys’ needs. Thank you to all.

Love the course not quite the site used to host classes It’s hot and stuffy and not suitable for kids with allergies . Although I was assured there will be fans in the room and windows and doors opened for ventilation. It’s not the case. The door was open but the classroom was stuffy and super h...
FunTech Response
Sadly, our usual location were not offering their facilities for the summer, which is why we found an alternative. Hopefully next year we will back at our usual location.
It was an exceptionally hot week and we got one fan per two students dispatched to every location, and tried to keep all doors and windows open that we were able to.
With reference to the rail strike, the challenge we faced was that some families were able to come to the location, and so we were unable to run both location and virtual camps for that day due as we could not split the staff between the two.
Glad to read that your son enjoyed the course and I am sure he has learnt good solid python skills.

I arrived on Monday, not knowing a thing about python. But the Funtech lessons were simple and informative and I quickly learnt more info, day by day. The staff (Robin and Beatriz) were helpful when we needed support and the lunches were good. I would definitely come again.

The course was really fun and beneficial to my knowledge of coding Python. However, for the past 3.5 days, we have just been coding games, which can get fairly boring after you have coded the majority of games.
FunTech Response
I am sorry that you found the last day and a half boring.
However, the idea behind the last day and a half is for you to put your python knowledge into action by coding a variety of different games.
To be a good coder, you not only need to know the constructs but need lots of coding practice which the tutors can help you with if you get stuck.
However, good to hear it was fun and beneficial.

Chloe thoroughly enjoyed her Python Coding residential camp. She has done a little bit of Python coding before so the tutors adapted her tasks to make them a little more challenging. She learnt some new coding skills but, most notably of all, she had fun !

Ayesha loved Funtech and also enjoyed Lego camp last year.
She has since been coding at home, and learnt a lot at camp.
She also enjoyed working with and learning from the other students at Funtech.
It was probably her favourite camp ever.

We thought the course was well organised and run.
The student care was very good with the inquiries about how to improve the experience for us.
Our son's only criticism was the 8 hour length facilitated by a lot of breaktime which is more challenging to fill for older teenagers.
FunTech Response
I am so sorry that your son found the day too long. We do have a policy of two fifteen minute screen breaks in the morning and afternoon. Plus one hour for lunch with physical activities as they have been sitting in front of screen most of the day.
May I recommend our virtual camps which run over two weeks and you can select from either mornings or afternoons, which might suit him better.
Pleased to hear that you thought the course was engaging and worthwhile and hope to see you again next year.

And the tutors, Hafsa and Ben, helped us if we needed help.

My room was so nice and the staff were lovely. More gluten free options though, my sister didn't have a lot to eat. The course was fun and the tutors were really helpful, I learnt a lot. Just my class were a bit loud so I could not concentrate as much but that wasn't their fault. Overall really fun.
