Heading 1
Compare Primary Coding and Programming Lesson Plans and Resources
Whether for KS1 or KS2, below is a comparison of coding schemes of work and resources. All of the computing schemes of work we list on our computing page will include coding modules, however this page is for stand-alone coding packages. Schools can use these resources to supplement their computing curriculum, or for lunchtime/after-school coding clubs.
For this reason, the packages below will come with lesson plans/explanations for teachers too. Depending on the provider, programming languages covered include Scratch, Python and HTML.
