With average class sizes of 4 and never more than 8, your child will learn coding online with a live tutor in a totally interactive way. What’s more, it could actually lead on to your child taking a computer science GCSE or A Level early with us.

The curriculum, teaching methods and virtual learning environment we create for all our students produces exceptional results.

In 2019, 100% of FunTech students achieved grades 7/8/9 at GCSE in Computer Science – the national average was 21.9%. At A Level, 100% of our students achieved either A* or A – the national average was 25.2% percent.

So, here are some of the after-school coding classes your child could take part in. To get started, we ask that kids take part in an online assessment to assess their knowledge, before placing them into the best after school coding program for them.

Our after-school coding programs

Discover the powerful potential of coding with our industry-standard online coding courses for kids. The virtual computer programming classes can take your child from the basic essentials, enabling your child to be confident understanding code; to a professional standard.

PureCoder Level 1

This year-long online coding course will take your child on a journey through fundamental and basic programming concepts, using fun and engaging exercises and mini-projects.

PureCoder Level 2

Kids then progress onto the next after school coding program which will further develop their programming skills in Python. They will be introduced to Object Oriented Programming and will learn industry standard programming practices.

PureCoder Level 3

In the next course your child will learn how coding skills can be applied to the game development industry. It focuses on a widely used game engine, Unity, to take your child through the fascinating aspects of programming 2D games. These skills will help consolidate and expand on their pre-existing programming ability.

PureCoder Level 4

Level 4 sees your child learn to design and create 3D gaming worlds after school with their own goals and constraints. Your child will be using the cutting edge of game creation technologies with Unreal Engine 4.

PureCoder Level 5

Level 5 will teach your child everything they need to know to create powerful data-driven websites. From page layout, design and styling through to databases and content management systems – covering all aspects of the latest web development trends.

PureCoder Level 6

The final PureCoder course looks at a branch of artificial intelligence with machine learning. Your child will create programs on the fringes of scientific discovery and human achievement.
