PPA Cover &
Educational Holiday Club Specialists

We have had Junior Jam in since the beginning of this current academic year. Junior Jam provide music lessons for each class from years 1-6 as well as a whole school music assembly and a gifted and talented club . Our Music Instructor has settled into our school well and has developed good relationships with the children. It is nice to see some children beginning to develop a love for music. The company is also very quick at replying and sorting out any queries we may have.

We have been working with Junior Jam since September 2025, during which time they have provided highquality PPA cover across the school. This has included wholeclass music teaching as well as support with our classes, all of which has been delivered with professionalism, consistency, and enthusiasm.

Communication with the Junior Jam staff has been excellent from the outset. The head office keeps us wellinformed, respond promptly to any queries, and always ensure that our curriculum needs are fully understood. The team has integrated smoothly into our school environment, building positive relationships with both staff and pupils, and showing great flexibility and commitment.

We have been extremely pleased with the standard of teaching, the reliability of your service, and the collaborative approach Junior Jam take. It has been a pleasure working with them, and we greatly value the partnership we have developed. The children have been more engaged with Junior Jams service than other companies that we have used.

2023 will be the second year we have worked with Junior Jam and we use the Computing sessions.

The service communicates well and is reliable with what it offers. Communication is good and any issues/confusions/changes have been our fault! Junior Jam Staff quality is excellent and have formed good relationships with the school.

The School now has high quality computing sessions that are well resourced, varied and engaging for pupils. Staff have benefited from learning new skills and being able to have time to support key pupils.

We have been working with Junior Jam for almost one year (Jan ‘23 we began our journey). They are very reliable, there has only been one staff absence in the time we have been working together and a substitute was sent.

Communication is great, emails are answered promptly and professionally. Calls are answered and nothing is ever too much trouble; JJ are happy to take on board feedback from our subject leaders following any monitoring. The tutors that teach our pupils are professional, knowledgeable and have high expectations.

We began our JJ journey when we needed to 'employ' a new member of staff to cover PPA, we took this as an opportunity to try something new and exciting. Junior Jam provide high quality teaching and learning experiences in three subjects (that often class teachers aren't as confident with) across our school - the children love these lessons! Teachers and school leaders feel confident that their pupils are receiving high quality provision.

We also use the portal to access planning and assessment documents.

We have been working with Junior Jam for the past three years now; they have been providing PPA cover. Initially, we started with just Music cover but now we have both Music and MFL cover. From the day I got in contact with the company, I have been incredibly impressed by not only the professionalism of every member of staff but also the high level of skill that is offered during our sessions. Our children particularly enjoy the Music sessions and the highly interactive elements of the sessions. The children's knowledge and skills have been dramatically impacted by having such skilled practitioners delivering the sessions. The school portal is also a great tool, which allows Subject leads and class teachers to track the progress of the children and has been invaluable, when writing reports.
