Holiday Clubs

Jam Coding runs a series of holiday clubs in Worcestershire and Herefordshire, designed to teach young people essential digital skills while incorporating nutritional education and fun physical activities. It’s the perfect way for kids to engage, learn, and stay active during the school holidays!

"I have to admit to being a little skeptical about how much uptake we would have for Jam-Coding as it's a paid club. I need not have worried. Great uptake and looking good for further clubs for the rest of the year. Thanks to Craig and the rest of our local team- excellent organisation and teaching!"

Kempsey Primary School

"Craig is a fantastic leader for the computer/coding/gaming based club! My son hates going to holiday clubs but he begged me to go to Jam Coding and to go back! Fun and friendly, it’s really nice to see a different kind of holiday club that caters to more interests than just sports. There are screen breaks and active activities too as part of the day. Top marks, we can’t wait for the next school holidays!"

Mollie, Parent

"My son had a great time in the summer holidays at this club! Learned new skills and made new friends, 100% recommend!!"

Michelle, Parent

"I just finished up my time working at Jam Coding Worcestershire/Herefordshire this summer, and what a fantastic 3 months it has been. I would like to give my personal thanks to Craig Hardman, who has been a wonderful mentor and friend to me, and has proven time and time again, to both myself, and to our students, that anyone can code, and have fun while doing it."

Louie, Ex Employee

"Brilliant club for my Minecraft obsessed 9 year old! He had loads of fun and couldn’t stop talking about what he had done. We will definitely be booking him in again."

Beth, Parent

"First time for my child to attend a coding club- although he was the youngest and didn't have much gaming experience he is really interested in it and had a great day!"

Elizabeth, Parent

"Fab holiday club for my minecraft and gaming obsessed son! He learnt new skills and made new friends. I'll definitely be booking for the next school holidays."

Sacha, Parent

“My son first attended for a day in the summer and loved it and the programs what were used, staff were really friendly and organised so couldn’t say no when they advertised an afterschool club  He is really enjoying the sessions, staff are well organised, supportive of his ideas and questions and building his confidence when learning different aspects of coding.   Would definitely recommend!”
