Our first block of hands-on micro:bit coding challenges is now available 'on demand' as pre-recorded sessions! The theme is ‘Outdoor Science Investigations’ so make the most of the good weather we're having and get outside with your micro:bit this summer!
What’s Included:
- Pre-recorded micro:bit coding sessions released each week during term time, building up into a library and yours to keep while you’re a member.
- Live sessions to code along, ask questions, share projects and get inspired by others. (Maximum of 15 families in each live session). Live interaction and collaboration is encouraged.
- Printable guide to get ahead, support during tutorials or debug afterwards.
- Differentiated challenges so both beginners and experienced coders can succeed.
- Support whenever your child needs it via the parents / carers WhatsApp group.
- Personalised Certificate on completion of each block.
- Back catalogue of projects to access on demand.
Each week during term time, you’ll be able to watch a pre-recorded tutorial to learn new coding skills and join a live session to experiment, share ideas and take on extra challenges. Whether you prefer to work at your own pace or dive straight into the live sessions, this club is designed for flexibility and fun.
There will be a live taster session on 28th August for our Autumn term project. The new term officially starts on 8th September 2025 and lives begin week 15th September.
Micro:bit Coding Club live sessions are on Thursdays at 11am. (*Limited to 15 families).

Terms and Conditions for Class Sign-Up
By booking a place on classes or clubs, you agree to the following:
1. No Cancellations or Refunds
All bookings are final. We do not offer refunds or transfers for cancellations or changes in personal circumstances. Missed sessions cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
2. Illness or Absence
If your child is unable to attend a live session due to illness or other commitments, we are unable to offer a refund, credit, or make-up class - however they can catch up using the pre-recorded sessions so they will not miss out.
3. Class Cancellations by Us
If we need to cancel a session (e.g. due to tutor illness or technical difficulties), we will offer an alternative date for live catch up sessions.
4. Cameras on at the start of every live session. This is to ensure that everyone is who they say they are for the safeguarding of all participants. Cameras maybe turned off after the initial 'hello' if they prefer, but we encourage live participation, interaction and collaboration in order to make the most of the sessions. The chat function will be enabled for questions to be asked and observations. Please get in touch with Hannah ahead of sessions if your child has any communication or other needs that she can support.
5. Behaviour and Participation
We expect all participants to behave respectfully. If a child’s behaviour disrupts the class, we reserve the right to remove them without refund.
