The record

Product: RunPy is a browser-based Python and HTML IDE designed for UK secondary school classrooms.
Coding environment: The browser IDE places a code editor and interactive Python terminal side by side and runs Python without installation.
Files: Users can manage Python, HTML and text files together in a searchable tree with folders and file sharing.
Lessons: The student lessons catalogue includes over 150 lessons with self-marking tasks, worked examples and exam-style practice.
Exam practice: RunPy offers over 80 scenario-based coding tasks with per-criterion partial credit and mark schemes.
Teacher feedback: Teachers can view and run student code, mark files checked, leave inline comments and edit student code.
Class tracking: The class markbook shows student progress by lesson and allows teachers to unlock lessons class by class.
Integrations: A one-click copy feature can put code into Google Classroom, OneNote or another existing workflow.
Security and execution: The privacy policy says Python and HTML code runs locally on the user's device through Skulpt and is not executed on RunPy servers.
Data location: RunPy says personal data is stored in its Supabase project on AWS in the London region and routine processing stays in the UK.
Privacy controls: The privacy policy states that RunPy does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies and does not track keystrokes or code content through operational telemetry.

Support: RunPy lists support by email at [email protected] and says paid teachers receive priority email support.
Company and audience: RunPy describes itself as made in the UK for schools and says it was built by a teacher with 12+ years in the classroom and 9 years as a Head of Computer Science.
