Coding workshops at Condover Hall
Part of our School of Coding series, our coding workshops at Condover Hall give pupils the chance to explore web development, app development or Python programming – three exciting pathways that help students build digital skills for the future.
Each workshop is tailored to different age groups and abilities. Sessions blend perfectly with your JCA adventure programme, offering an engaging mix of hands-on learning and outdoor activities.
What to expect
Coding workshops can run simultaneously or in rotation, depending on your group size and timetable. Each workshop lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes, including a short break.
Students will experience:
- An introduction to coding languages
- Links between coding and web development
- Coding on devices with real tools and interfaces
- Key terminology to understand how code works
- A Q&A exploring how coding appears in real-world jobs
Web development workshops
Students step into the world of HTML and CSS, building their own unique websites from scratch. They’ll design pages, experiment with tags and enhance their site step by step – learning the building blocks of web development in a fun, structured way.
The workshop ends with a chat about careers in digital design, web development and creative tech.
App development workshops
This workshop opens the door to app design and digital creativity. Students learn why apps matter, explore key coding concepts and create their own functional app.
With support from School of Coding tutors, learners can continue improving their app independently – building confidence as they go.
The session ends with a Q&A exploring real app-based careers and how coding fits into everyday life.
Python workshops by level
Python is one of the world’s most powerful programming languages – used by organisations like Google, NASA and Netflix. Our Python workshop helps students strengthen computational thinking, problem-solving and abstract reasoning through progressive, hands-on challenges.
Workshops are offered at three levels to ensure inclusion and appropriate challenge for every learner:
Foundation level
Students learn essential programming concepts including:
• Variables and inputs
• Maths and operators
• Comments and simple logic
• If statements
• Random libraries
• Counters and loops
These skills prepare students to code confidently and understand the basics of Python.
Intermediate level
Students progress into:
• String handling
• Functions and procedures
• Structuring code for clarity and efficiency
These skills help learners understand how professional code is organised and why structure matters.
Advanced level
Students explore the power of Python graphics, discovering how visual programming can bring ideas to life and unlock more advanced capabilities.
Each workshop ends with a final project that combines everything students have learned — plus a Q&A exploring real-world Python applications and future careers.
