Primary Coding & Programming Lesson Plans, Schemes of Work & Resources

This guide compares every coding resource available for primary schools. Coding is taught as part of the primary computing curriculum. Whilst many of the whole-school computing schemes we list on our computing page come with coding modules, here you’ll see coding resources that can be bought separately. The resources here will help enormously with staff confidence when teaching coding, and are also suitable for code clubs at lunchtime or after school. 

Typically most of the products will cover programming languages like Scratch, Python and HTML and cover visual programming at KS1 before moving onto textual programming in years five and six. In EYFS and KS1 teaching coding can also be done without a screen, and so many providers below teach aspects of coding like logic and algorithms by board games.
