A message from the Director

Technology has shaped my entire career. After graduating with an MEng (Hons) in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, I built a career in technology and went on to hold senior leadership positions including CTO and CEO roles.

That experience has given me a first-hand view of how quickly technology is changing the way we live, work and solve problems. For today’s children, digital confidence will not simply be useful – it will be an essential life skill.

That is why I launched Jam Coding Essex West. Our aim is not to turn every child into a programmer. It is to help children understand technology, think creatively, solve problems, work collaboratively and build the confidence to explore the digital world safely and positively.

We work with primary schools and families across Redbridge, Havering, Epping Forest, Harlow and Chelmsford, delivering engaging experiences through after-school clubs, curriculum support, enrichment and digital citizenship programmes.

I want Jam Coding Essex West to become a trusted long-term digital education partner for schools across our area – making high-quality computing experiences accessible, practical and, most importantly, enjoyable for children.

~ Sunny | Director, Jam Coding Essex West

What makes Jam Coding different?
Active, confidence-building sessions
Children learn by doing - creating, experimenting, solving problems and working together.
The emphasis is on enjoyment and confidence as well as technical skills.
Inclusive by design
Sessions are designed so children with different starting points and abilities can participate, contribute and succeed.
We want every child to feel that technology is for them.
Real-world digital skills
Problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, digital confidence and responsible use of technology are built into the experience - skills children can carry far beyond a single lesson.
Simple for schools
We handle the planning, setup and delivery, and can provide specialist equipment where required.
Schools get an engaging computing experience without creating additional workload for teachers.

 

OUR SERVICES

We help children build the digital skills, confidence and creativity they need for the future

Bespoke Curriculum

Jam Coding’s award-winning Bespoke Computing Curriculum helps primary schools deliver high-quality computing with confidence.

It combines structured lesson content, teacher CPD, differentiated activities, specialist video support and simple assessment tools, helping schools build both pupil capability and staff confidence.

Whether a school wants to strengthen particular areas of computing or develop a more consistent whole-school approach, the curriculum can be used flexibly around existing provision.

After School Clubs

Our weekly after-school clubs make computing creative, social and fun – not simply another lesson at the end of the school day.

Children learn through games, challenges and hands-on projects across topics such as coding, game design, robotics, Minecraft, animation, micro:bits and digital creativity.

Clubs can be tailored for KS1 and KS2 and subjects can rotate through the year so children keep discovering something new.

Clubs can be parent-funded or school-funded, and every club includes one free Pupil Premium place. We work with the school to make launch and administration as straightforward as possible.

Enrichment & Workshops

Bring computing to life through an engaging one-off session, themed workshop or full enrichment day.

Our sessions can support curriculum objectives, introduce pupils to areas such as coding, robotics, game design and digital creativity, or simply give children a memorable opportunity to experience technology in a different way.

We can work with individual classes, year groups or multiple groups across a school day, adapting the content to the ages, experience and resources available

eSafety and Digital Citizenship

Helping children use technology confidently also means helping them use it safely and responsibly.

We deliver age-appropriate eSafety and Digital Citizenship sessions that can support key areas of the computing curriculum, reinforce a school’s existing online-safety work or focus on a particular issue important to pupils and families.

Workshops are adapted to the school, age group and available resources, with the aim of making online safety relevant, practical and engaging rather than simply another set of rules.

Built around the needs of each school

No two schools are exactly the same. Pupil numbers, budgets, existing computing provision, staff confidence and the needs of families all vary.

That is why we do not approach schools with a single fixed solution. We start by understanding what the school is trying to achieve and then look at the most appropriate route – whether that is an after-school club, curriculum support, an enrichment session, eSafety, or a combination of services.

Our goal is to become a useful local partner rather than simply another external provider.
