My son recently had a taster session with the code zone. They were very helpful and their communication before and after the session was fantastic. We are looking for a local coding class which is face to face, which The Code Zone don’t offer at the moment, but fingers crossed this is something they can accommodate in future!

My 10 year old son loves the Coding Club

My 10 year old son loves The Code Zone! He loves ‘the way you can be yourself around the instructors and you can ask for help at any time, and the instructors are always interested in what you’re doing’. I highly recommend it.

My son loves attending his weekly coding club. There is a variety of activities for him to immerse in and he often has projects on the go that he works on each week. The teachers are so welcoming and kind. Can't recommend coding club enough.

My boys love the code zone. It's a very relaxed and safe space for my children to learn
Louise Colledge
The Code Zone is an outstanding and well managed club. My daughter has been going for a couple of years now and absolutely loves it. They maintain their interest by constantly challenging them with new games and programmes and the staff are friendly and approachable. They also keep parents informed and remind them when new terms are starting along with holiday activities. Definitely deserve their 5 🌟 .
Lesley Brown
My 10 yr old daughter has recently changed groups as she is quite shy and timid and her previous group were quite outgoing. The team were brilliant, very supportive and worked to find her the right group. She is now in a quieter group where the other children work together to support each other and she said the group leader is great! A happy mummy! 🥰
Rebecca
My son is loving it
Joe
I have 2 children who attend The Code Zone online classes. Both of my children are neurodiverse. Firstly, their customer services is great. They are very patient and signing up was easy. There were no sales calls which was great because a lot of the other companies that sell coding classes seem to bombard you with calls. The teachers are amazing and very patient. My son (7 years) actually plays the games that they learn to code. Lauren especially has been AMAZING with my son. My daughter is 13 and I was nervous as to whether she would enjoy it or not. She LOVES the classes and has learned so much. I was really apprehensive about whether my children’s needs could be met but Code Zone has exceeded by expectations. The price is very reasonable, the teaching is good and I would highly recommend The Code Zone.

Members of Game Dev Academy and Game Dev Club begin by learning Scratch, a block based coding language. Members progress through the levels included in our “Hacker” award and once they’re a Scratch expert, they can move onto the more advanced MakeCode but continue coding using blocks which allows for an easier transition. 
Once members have completed levels 1 and 2 of our “Modder” award, they’re ready to move onto learning written coding languages such as Python and Typescript, this is covered by Game Dev Advanced!
