Projects to challenge your pupils

The CODING SUCCESS lessons have been designed to be used as flexibly as possible so that you can meet the needs to your pupils and the activities can be used according to your preferred teaching style and/or level of confidence with coding.

The national curriculum expectations for coding have been referenced throughout the lessons but we know that it is so important to set the right level of challenge and support for pupils.

Through our experiences of teaching young people, we know that there are times when pupils are ready to surge ahead in their learning but also times when those same children will need extra consolidation.

If you already possess LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime sets, then great news, you can still signup to access the existing projects and get updates as new ones are added each year.

We've created challenges for beginners, intermediate and for those who are ready for more advanced learning. All share the same contexts and aims so it’s OK to move between the two levels if that’s best for your pupils.

Voices from the Classroom

"Embracing Coding Success transformed our approach at Sandy Secondary. The online training illuminated the Lego kits' potential, and soon, our A-Level students were mentoring Year 7s in coding. This programme shattered the myth that only 'logical thinkers' can code, revealing it as a fusion of creativity, teamwork, and problem- solving. A big thank you to Coding Success for this enriching journey."
