Most Helpful Reviews

Coding

Alicia, Teacher: For progression reasons, children in Year 3 find it difficult to move over to a different programming platform so they find it quite complicated at first
Tiffany, Assistant Headteacher: It’s brilliant and have already recommended it to lots of schools
Beth, Class Teacher and Computing Lead: We have to evidence computing through a worksheet so that could be helpful along with display posters.

Python in Pieces

Kay Sawbridge, Faculty Leader Computing and IT: Love PiP, great learning platform, students really engage and are enthusiastic about the tasks. The videos and hints allow most students to work independently giving the teacher a chance to work with those that need a little extra help. Watching the code run aids understanding as does the ability to switch from blocks to text based coding. The teacher dashboard is great and I like that you can set tasks as assignments which are auto marked and then you can download the results to analyse where students may need a little extra suppor.
Rhiannon Dumpleton, Computer Science and IT Teacher: While some schools might be wary of the price, I think that it is very much worth it. It saves time on planning and marking, and can be used across multiple year groups. The fact that each section is 6 lessons long makes it fit well into any half-term, for students who then need extra work, or if you have lessons left over with no work to complete, you can set them a challenge and let them loose on the freecode option.
