Code Club’s Journey
Founded 2012 by Linda Sandvik and Clare Sutcliffe
“we share a belief that it is essential that children are introduced to coding at an
early age and shown how much fun it can be”
Why is coding important?

What do our volunteers think?
“teaching at my Code Club is the more rewarding part of
my week”
“Getting feedback on how much the kids enjoy the club
and seeing the creative spark - its worth every minute”
“I enjoy being part of the solution of teaching computing in
schools”
What do children learn?
83% of teachers leading clubs felt that learning to code
had impacted on children’s progress in other subjects.
“They have learnt to test and work to solve problems and
not to just accept that there is only one way to achieve
something.”
“There has been a marked difference in the way the
Code Club members approach problem solving; a more
analytical approach and a way of seeing mistakes or
errors as part of the process of learning.”

Children leave school with the desire and ability to pursue digital making
Children leave Code club with a set of skills that will be useful to them in
their future hobbies, schooling and career.
