The Next Evolution of Jam Coding Has Arrived!
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.
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
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.
Want to Be Part of the Next Phase of Growth?
If Su’s story inspires you, or if you’re excited by the prospect of bringing a Jam Coding Computing Lab to your own community, we’d love to talk.

AI is the future!
As a franchise at the forefront of Digital Education it is clear to us at Jam Coding how the development and familiarity of artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise but with it becoming more prevalent in our daily lives I am sure even individuals who are not as close to the digital sector are noticing this too
But what does this mean for our future generation of young people?
There are both positive and negative views on AI, but how important is it to be aware of AI in terms of education?
Let’s take a look at some of the significant reasons why children should be educated on AI and how it can be beneficial…
- AI can allow children to have personalised learning and gives us the capability to tailor educational content to each individual’s needs, creating a bridge in the digital divide of children in education.
- There is 24/7 access to learning with AI helpers based online, students have the ability to learn anywhere and anytime!
- AI isn’t about robots as teachers to replace human teachers in classrooms, it’s about using artificial intelligence to help both teachers and students – with the use of smart content and digital lessons that help save time!
Our founder, Roger Grogan, believes AI is going to become a “fundamental” part of children’s lives.
As one of the leading providers of Computing Education in the UK and our mission is in delivering life skills to the next generation of digital citizens.
Roger has confidence that we are at the very beginning of the AI movement and says “I would actually argue we’re still at the very start of the digital revolution.”
He believes that at Jam Coding, what is being taught to the children has to be constantly evolving in order to keep up with the ever-developing digital world. Along with how it is taught.
