Introducing robotics into the primary classroom helps children become confident, curious learners in a world shaped by technology. At an early age, robotics encourages pupils to explore cause and effect, think logically, and solve problems creatively - all through play-based, hands-on learning. It also supports key curriculum goals by strengthening teamwork, communication, and computational thinking, while keeping pupils fully engaged and motivated.
To support this, we’ve curated a selection of robotics solutions designed specifically for primary schools. These tools are age-appropriate, classroom-ready, and built to make coding and engineering accessible, inclusive and fun - whether pupils are learning through stories, challenges, or collaborative play.
Sphero
Sphero provides an accessible entry point into robotics and computational thinking, particularly for younger learners. Its intuitive, hands-on approach makes it easy for teachers to introduce coding concepts without complex setup. Sphero solutions are ideal for schools looking for flexible, engaging resources that can be scaled across classes or year groups.
Dash
Wonder Workshop robots support creative, collaborative learning while introducing structured problem-solving and early coding skills. They work well in classroom settings and after-school clubs, offering schools a reliable, classroom-tested option for building robotics into their wider STEM provision.
Ozobot
Ozobot offers a versatile way to integrate coding and robotics across the curriculum. Its adaptable approach supports both guided lessons and independent exploration, making it a strong choice for schools seeking robotics tools that grow with pupils and support a wide range of learning activities.
Makeblock
Makeblock solutions help bridge the gap between introductory robotics and more advanced coding concepts. They are well suited to upper primary settings, providing schools with a clear progression pathway as pupils develop confidence and technical understanding. Among their range, the Codey Rocky is regarded as a fantastic starting point for young learners.
Botley
Learning Resources focuses on simple, screen-light robotics that are easy to deploy in busy classrooms. These solutions are ideal for early primary learners and schools looking for practical, low-barrier tools that deliver clear learning outcomes with minimal setup - most notably, the Botley 2.0.
