Two local entrepreneurs have joined forces with a leading national coding and computing education company to bring invaluable digital workshops to primary schools across Warrington.

Established in 2014, Jam Coding has been dedicated to delivering inspirational computing workshops, igniting young minds on a transformative digital education journey.

Now standing as one of the largest private computing providers in the UK, Jam Coding boasts a network of over 200 specially trained Code Coaches spanning from Aberdeen to Dover, with Warrington being the newest addition.

Rozalyn Orme, Area Director for Jam Coding Warrington, shared, “We embraced the Jam Coding opportunity because it offers a unique curriculum-based coding provision. Children stand to gain not just educationally, but in a fun and engaging environment not found elsewhere.”

Andrew Beech, Co-Director of Jam Coding Warrington, added, “Our journey began from a simple desire to fill the void of coding provision in the North West, particularly for our own children.

We’re thrilled about our upcoming initiatives in the region and have already begun accepting bookings. The enthusiastic response from teachers reaffirms the value of our mission, and we look forward to collaborating with schools and the wider community.”

Reflecting on the pressing need for digital literacy, Roger Grogan, who founded Jam Coding a decade ago, remarked, “Recent reports highlight a looming digital skills shortage crisis in the UK, compounded by a 40% drop in young people pursuing IT subjects since 2015.

This underscores the urgency for services like ours, and yet it is a need we have recognised for years. Our mission is clear: to equip children with essential digital skills for life.”

Jam Coding not only delivers after-school clubs and one-off workshops in schools to enhance their computing provision but also prioritises the safety of young learners by offering Digital Safety and Citizenship sessions from as early as four years old.
