“Junior Jam teach French & iMedia to Yr1 upwards. We started iMedia at the start of 2016 and French since September 2016. The computing curriculum coverage offered is excellent and iPads are provided by Junior Jam. The quality of the teaching is very good and the children are all engaged in the lessons. Having a teacher who has good computing knowledge is invaluable in fulfilling the needs of the new curriculum. MFL is a high priority area and having the skills and fluency to tackle it effectively can be difficult for staff - having a specialist French speaker has solved this problem. The children are learning invaluable skills within the curriculum that could not have been taught in-house. They are engaged in learning and are very positive about their lessons. The fact that iPads are provided has been a bonus in terms of the school budget. It also mean that staff are not faced with technical issues. The staff are always on time, well planned and friendly. The quality of provision provided has been very good. The service provided by the main office has been good.”

“Junior Jam planned and delivered a one week summer school for our incoming year 7 students. They were able to put a comprehensive, quality package together at a reasonable cost. The delivery was excellent, professional and to a high standard. The programme was varied and all students enjoyed trying the different activities. It made their transition to our school easier. It increased their self-confidence and made them feel part of the school community, before they started with us full time the following September. They were able to make friends with their new peers and see our school as a positive place to be. School staff were confident that Junior Jam took the lead on activities, and every activity delivered was to our schools usual high standard. We would definitely recommend Junior Jam. Right from the very first telephone call their staff were helpful, friendly and professional. We have used other summer school providers in the past, but the programme Junior Jam delivered was by far the best we have had. The activities were well thought out, well delivered and to a very high standard, and the planning and preparation before the event was faultless.”

“Junior Jam cover PPA sessions in our school where they teach part of our computing curriculum through their iMedia scheme of work. This is our second year using Junior Jam as our PPA cover. We use Junior Jam as they are skilled professionals, who make the children's learning fun and engaging. Computing is a subject which requires a lot of knowledge and some of our staff were struggling with innovative ways to teach this. Junior Jam provide a fun solution to this problem. The staff are always prepared, hard-working and build a good rapport with the children over the year. The children have really benefited from their lessons with Junior Jam, as they receive quality teaching each week in computing. The lessons are always fun and the children are extremely enthusiastic: they can't wait to create their final pieces of work to share with the class. Our staff have benefited as they have been able to watch and even take part in creative computing lessons. They have been able to pick up ideas and iPad apps which they can use in other areas of the curriculum. I would definitely recommend Junior Jam, because they are friendly, fun and skilled professionals who provide our children with valuable and memorable experiences.”
