Meet Jen

Jen Baker is the Area Manager for Rochdale. Jen started working for Edstart in the Salford area before moving to Rochdale as a Sports Coach. Jen has always had a passion for sport from a young age. Growing up in the Rochdale borough, Jen hopes to share her love for sport and physical activity with children in the local area.

Since stepping into her role as Area Manager, Jen has played a key part in developing high-quality provision across schools, supporting staff, and building strong relationships within the community. She is committed to creating inclusive opportunities for all children, helping them grow in confidence, develop key life skills, and enjoy being active through engaging and meaningful experiences.

We really would be lost without Edstart. They have been amazing throughout the pandemic and turned their hand to anything we have asked for. So flexible, so adaptable and always smiling.

Mrs Farrell

Headteacher, Belfield Community Primary School

Edstart are always happy to change and tweak plans to benefit our students, who are usually desperate to be involved in any clubs they provide. For me, they are incredibly helpful, often looking through timetables, curriculum plans and assessments.

Mr Knowles

PE Coordinator, Hamer Community Primary School

All of the Edstart staff give 100% every day and nothing is ever too much for them. The specialist coaches they use for sports such as JagTag, really help give the children an opportunity to flourish and learn new skills.
