The Next Evolution of Jam Coding Has Arrived!

Jam Coding is one of the largest private providers of computing education to primary schools across the UK, delivering coding & computing workshops to children.

At Jam Coding, we’ve spent more than a decade helping children build confidence, creativity, and independence through digital education. But this year marks a major milestone in our journey, and an exciting new opportunity for those looking to join us.

In January 2026, we’ll be opening our first-ever Jam Coding Computing Lab in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. Located at the Intuition Tuition Centre, this new facility represents far more than just a classroom. It’s the beginning of a model that will allow Jam Coding franchise owners across the UK to bring even greater value to their communities and unlock new growth potential in their businesses.

Why Computing Labs Are a Game Changer for Jam Coding Franchise Owners

For years, Jam Coding has been delivering high-impact digital skills workshops and computing lessons inside primary schools nationwide. Our in-school programmes remain a core part of what we do, but Computing Labs take this one step further.

A Jam Coding Computing Lab gives franchise owners the chance to:

• Build a standalone, high-visibility centre in their community – Labs give families a direct place to enrol their children into a structured, curriculum-aligned programme. No school partnerships required!
• Offer measurable weekly sessions – Parents can track progress, see their child’s confidence grow, and stay engaged long-term, improving retention and recurring revenue.
• Expand beyond school timetables – After school, evening, weekend and holiday sessions allow flexible scheduling and multiple income streams.
• Meet growing parental demand – As digital literacy becomes essential for future success, parents are actively seeking trusted providers outside school hours, and Jam Coding franchise owners are perfectly placed to serve that need.

And the impact speaks for itself.

68% of children who learn through the Jam Coding curriculum achieve higher than expected outcomes compared to their peers, making Computing Labs not just valuable, but genuinely life changing for young people.

For franchise owners, this means the opportunity to shape children’s futures while building a strong, sustainable business build on real educational outcomes.

Spotlight: The Stockport Franchise Owner Leading the Way

The first Lab will be launched by Su Watty, Area Director for Jam Coding Stockport, who has already built an impressive franchise in her region.

“It’s an absolute honour to be leading Jam Coding’s very first Computing Lab here in Cheadle,” Su shared.

“Every child deserves the chance to unlock their potential through digital skills, and this Lab will be a place where they can grow in confidence, creativity, and ambition.”

Su’s success story is a powerful example of what’s possible as a Jam Coding franchise owner:

• She has grown a thriving franchise in Stockport
• Built strong relationships with local schools and parents
• Established herself as a trusted leader in digital education
• And now, she’s breaking new ground with Jam Coding’s very first Computing Lab

Her achievements demonstrate the scalability and opportunity within the Jam Coding model and how new initiatives like Labs strengthen the business even further.

The Cheadle Computing Lab is just the beginning. More Labs will be opening across the UK throughout 2026, creating additional opportunities for current and future franchise owners to expand their impact and their income.
