Subscriptions, invoices, and the free plan

Start with a free two-week trial

Set up your school and you get two weeks of everything, the entire teacher layer included. No card details, and nothing to cancel if you decide it is not for you.

What stays free afterwards

When the trial ends, your school moves to the free plan and keeps it for as long as you like. On the free plan:

• Your students keep the core Python course, their trophies and their own progress record, exactly as before.
• Your classes stay in place, showing trophy counts and last activity, so you can still see the room ticking along.
• You can read community resources in full and copy them into your school library, ready for when you subscribe.
• Student lists, school settings, enrolment and teacher invites all keep working.

What the free plan does not include is the teaching layer on top: setting work, trophy goals, hand-in and due dates, marking and return, class insights and the progress matrix, and authoring or publishing your own lessons and Worksheets.

Nothing is deleted when a school moves to the free plan. Work, classes and library content all stay where they are, and subscribing brings them back into use immediately.

Subscribing

Schools subscribe to an annual tier based on student numbers, from £250/year for up to 120 students to £1,275/year for up to 2,000 (excl. VAT, full details on the pricing page). Every teacher in your school is included on any tier. Students always keep free access to the core Python course.

Paying the way schools actually pay

From Subscription & billing in your dashboard, a school owner can:

• Pay by invoice / purchase order. Enter your PO reference, we email the invoice to your finance contact, and your school keeps full access during the 30-day payment window.
• Pay by card. Access confirmed within minutes.

You can name a finance contact who is not a platform user. Bursars and business managers do not need accounts to receive the paperwork.

Mid-year changes and renewals

Outgrow your tier and you can upgrade any time, paying only the difference. Subscriptions run one year from payment with no automatic renewal, so nothing rolls over silently. If a subscription lapses, your school returns to the free plan described above rather than losing anything.

Trusts, groups, and questions

Part of a MAT or school group? There is a single-agreement arrangement covering all your schools. And for anything at all, from a pricing question to a full demonstration for your department or SLT, get in touch. You will be dealing directly with the teacher who built the platform, not a sales team.
