Why This Platform Exists

I built this platform to help my own students learn Python and prepare for their GCSE Computer Science exams. What started as a simple online Python interpreter has grown into a comprehensive teaching tool covering the entire GCSE specification.

After hundreds of hours of development, there are real ongoing costs I can't self-fund indefinitely:

  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure
  • Database fees for storing student work and progress
  • AI API costs for intelligent hints and feedback
  • Continued development and maintenance

The pricing is designed to cover these costs while keeping the platform accessible to as many schools and students as possible. Thank you for supporting this project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Both schools and individual students get a 7-day free trial. Schools get a trial from the moment they create an account; students can start a trial from their dashboard with no card required.

How can schools pay?

We accept card payments (via Stripe) and school purchase orders. From your school dashboard you can pay instantly by card or upload a PO document. We'll issue a formal invoice with 30-day payment terms.

What student plans are available?

Two options: £25 for 1-year access (from date of purchase, one payment) or £40 for 2-year access(from date of purchase, one payment). Neither plan auto-renews.

Do students in a school subscription need to pay separately?

No. Students who join a teacher's class are covered by the school subscription at no cost to the student. The individual student plans are for students whose school isn't on the platform.

Is there a limit on students or teachers?

No cap. The £150 price is based on a normal secondary CS department. If you're significantly larger (e.g. a MAT or large online school), we'd discuss pricing at renewal. See our Terms & Conditions for the fair usage policy.

What exam boards do you support?

The platform covers the full GCSE Computer Science specification with support for OCR, AQA, and Edexcel.

What if my school can't afford £150?

Please get in touch. We want the platform to be accessible to all schools and can discuss options for schools with limited budgets.
