Ofsted have never been to a setting that offered ICT in such a way
“During our recent ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted, the inspector commented that she had never been to a setting that offered ICT in such a way, and was positive about the opportunity we offer. The children are always enthusiastic and happy to see teachers, and appear to gain a lot of ICT knowledge. This is evident in their play when they recall and re-enact their learning. The parents’ feedback is very positive, particularly as they receive weekly updates as to how their child is progressing.”

There's no other way to say it: we'd be lost without you!
“I am absolutely delighted to be working with Richard Simcox (ComputerXplorers Bolton and Wigan) again! He finds the most amazing ways to inspire pupils through computing whilst also boosting their confidence and self-esteem! After just one session with our pupils today, he's created such a buzz of excitement with our whole school! Thank you and #Kudos! There's no other way to say it: we'd be lost without you!”

We’ve tried other providers, but you are the best by far.
“We’ve tried other providers, but you are the best by far. The children love the sessions and what you provide in an area our teachers find difficult to deliver.”

Children speak very positively about the club
Working with ComputerXplorers has been very simple and straightforward. The bookings for the club are done externally so it means no extra work for the school. The children that do attend all speak very positively about the club. The staff are friendly and efficient.

Delivered after-school clubs in over 20 different schools across our area.
“I have worked with ComputerXplorers for the last 3 years, delivering after school clubs in schools and also holiday activities. Lisa and Martin have delivered after school clubs in over 20 different schools across our MAT and have always provided a brilliant service and overall experience for the children.

The leap has paid off and I love it, I wouldn’t ever go back
"I’ve worked with schools in Greater Manchester for over 20 years, so when the time came to make a decision to start my own business, I knew teaching would be a key part. Unfortunately for schools, with limited budgets, they can’t deliver the fun, engaging tech lessons and that's where ComputerXplorers comes in. This appealed to me, and along with Emily’s business knowledge, we could drive our own success with the backing of the ComputerXplorers’ network. I’m very much of the opinion you only live once, and there is no time like the present. The leap has paid off and I love it, I wouldn’t ever go back.”

Incredibly important
“My business is my passion and bringing computing education to as many children as possible is something I feel is incredibly important.”

We have the backing of the franchise every step of the way
"With three kids, a business, and a darkening economic outlook, there is always a new challenge but we are constantly learning and we know we have the backing of the franchise every step of the way."

ComputerXplorers kept jumping out to me
"I shortlisted a number of different franchises, but ComputerXplorers kept jumping out to me [...] Having worked as a primary school teacher, I’m fully aware of the importance of extracurricular activities in our children’s lives. It is a big challenge for schools to be able to keep up with the ever-changing nature of software and computing tech, and that is where ComputerXplorers seemed to really add value."
