What Drives Us
Bridging the Digital and Equality Gap in an AI-Driven World
At Code Cadets, we believe that every child deserves the chance to thrive in the digital age - not just those with easy access to technology. While demand for tech specialists continues to soar, opportunity isn’t always evenly shared. Our mission is to bridge both the digital skills gap and the equality gap, opening doors for all young people to succeed in an AI-driven world.
Coding isn’t just about computers - it’s about thinking creatively, solving problems, and building confidence. Through fun, practical activities, children learn to understand and shape technology rather than simply consume it. They discover the logic behind artificial intelligence and see how these skills connect to maths, science, design, and the world around them.
We’re committed to making this learning accessible and inclusive, reaching pupils from every background and helping to close the educational divide that limits opportunity.
💻 Our Approach
• We provide an engaging, inclusive environment where children explore, learn, and grow.
• Our curriculum blends creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, ensuring every learner feels seen, supported, and inspired.
• We work in partnership with universities, schools, and community networks to ensure high-quality teaching and real-world relevance.
• Our clubs complement classroom learning and help schools deliver on priorities around equity, enrichment, and aspiration.
🤝 Our Partners
We proudly collaborate with some of the UK’s top university institutions to source our talented tutors and mentors.
We’re also a trusted enrichment partner to leading primary and prep schools, with hundreds of pupils attending our after-school clubs each week.
All tutors are PVG/Enhanced DBS registered and fully trained in Safeguarding, including KCSIE and Prevent.
“Every child deserves access to computer science - not as a luxury, but as a foundational skill for justice and opportunity.”
