Fuelling Passion, Powering Progress: Real Franchise Success Stories from Jam Coding

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.

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.

Our team is here to support new franchise owners every step of the way, from launch to long-term success.

Fuelling Passion, Powering Progress: Real Franchise Success Stories from Jam Coding

May 19, 2025

As Jam Coding approaches its fifth year of franchising, we’re not just celebrating a milestone—we're celebrating the thriving community of passionate entrepreneurs who are building meaningful businesses while transforming the digital futures of young people across the UK.

From the very start, our commitment has been two-fold: innovate our product offering and support our franchisees every step of the way. That formula continues to drive impressive results, with our franchisees not only growing their own ventures but also making measurable impacts in the communities they serve.

A Passion-Fuelled Network

Franchising isn’t just about systems and products—it’s about people with purpose. We proudly support our network through regular business reviews and a collaborative, growth-focused approach to franchise development. With our earliest franchise agreements now coming up for renewal, it’s clear: when passion meets opportunity, great things happen.

Spotlight on Success: Meet Our Franchise Stars

Rosanna – Drive and Dedication

Rosanna exemplifies what’s possible with focus and determination. After taking sole ownership of her business, she’s built a standout reputation as a premium digital education provider in Kent. So much so, she recently converted a competitor school and now operates with a waiting list for her After School Clubs. At her recent Q1 2025 review, we celebrated her growth—and were thrilled to extend her franchise agreement in the region.

Roz and Andy – Immediate Impact

This dynamic husband-and-wife duo joined in January 2024 and wasted no time. Their After School Clubs sold out immediately, and they’ve already surpassed the 12-month income expectation—in just 8 months. With curriculum sales now underway and Out of School Clubs launching, Roz and Andy are building a thriving, multifaceted business.

Dan – Tech-Driven & Community-Focused

With a background in technology, Dan instantly aligned with Jam Coding’s mission. His consistent excellence has earned him the trust of schools and local authorities alike. Dan recently presented to 14 Headteachers and a Multi-Academy Trust CEO, opening doors to widespread curriculum delivery. He’s also piloting online courses and continues to deliver standout holiday clubs.

Jack – Education Expertise Meets Ambition

Starting in September 2024, Jack brought his teaching experience to the forefront. With a rapidly growing team, Jack was invited to showcase Jam Coding at a major cyber and tech event, raising local awareness and credibility. His sights are now set on running 15 schools by September 2025, expanding into curriculum sales and tapping into HAF-funded opportunities.

Why It Matters

At the heart of these stories is a simple truth: we are making a real difference. Many teachers today were never trained in computing, and the subject itself evolves faster than any other on the curriculum. The result? A fragmented and often inadequate digital education for our young people.

Jam Coding exists to fix that—with fun, practical, and effective products delivered by franchisees who care. Our impact is measured not just in profits, but in the lives we’re changing—by equipping children with the digital skills they need to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Join the Movement

If you’re passionate about education, inspired by innovation, and ready to build a business with purpose, Jam Coding offers a unique opportunity. With a proven model, ongoing support, and a growing market hungry for what we offer, now is the perfect time to start your own success story.
