For Schools
A coding platform for schools
Give every student and teacher in your department a browser-based coding workspace on one plan — with no software to deploy and no per-pupil licences to chase.
- Nothing to install
- Pro for everyone who joins
- One invoice
How a school gets set up
- 1
A school admin sets up the school
Pick the plan that matches a single department, a whole school or a multi-academy trust. Everything is priced per organisation, not per seat negotiation, and the admin gets one page to manage staff, pupils and seats.
- 2
The admin invites teachers
Staff join the school with a staff invite code issued from that page. There is no account provisioning project and no directory integration to commission first.
- 3
Teachers add their own students
Each teacher creates their classes and shares a join code. Students enter the code once and their work is filed under that class from then on.
- 4
Everyone who joins is on Pro
Cover follows school membership, so every teacher and student is lifted onto Pro the moment they join. No student is asked for a card and no teacher is left on the free tier.
Why departments choose it
Built around the constraints of a school network: managed devices, mixed hardware, tight budgets and a timetable that does not wait for an install.
Covers every student and teacher
A school plan lifts the whole department onto Pro at once, so nobody in your classes is blocked by a file limit mid-lesson.
Nothing to deploy
Both editors run in the browser. There is no MSI to package, no Chromebook policy to write and no Python version to maintain across a suite.
Seats and invite codes in one place
Add staff, see how many seats are in use and reissue a code from a single school page, rather than through a support ticket.
AI help stays a teacher decision
AI assistance is controlled per class by the teacher who runs it, so a department can set its own line between support and assessment.
Student work stays behind sign-in
Classes, files and submissions sit behind an account and are visible to the teachers of those classes. Search engines are blocked from every signed-in page.
One predictable invoice
A single plan for the organisation rather than a drift of individual subscriptions appearing on different budget lines.
School FAQs
- What does a school plan include?
- Pro access for every student and teacher who joins your school, which means unlimited files and folders in each IDE and the full set of class tools. Plans are sized for a single department, a whole school or a multi-academy trust.
- How are students and staff added?
- Through invite codes managed on your school page. A student or teacher joins the school with a code and their account is covered from that point on — there is no directory integration to commission first.
- Does anything need installing on school devices?
- No. Python runs in the browser tab and web pages are previewed locally in the browser, so a managed Chromebook or a locked-down desktop needs nothing more than a modern browser.
- Is student work visible to the public?
- No. Classes, files and submissions are behind sign-in and are visible to the teachers of the classes a student joins. Every signed-in area is blocked from search engine crawlers.
- Can a multi-academy trust cover several schools?
- Yes. The MAT plan exists for trusts running computing across more than one school, rather than buying a separate plan per site.
- Can we trial it before committing budget?
- Yes. A teacher can run a full class of up to 25 students on the free plan, so a department can test it with real lessons before any purchase order is raised.
