Who We Are
Jayce’s World of Learning CIC was founded around the journey of Jayce Joyce BCyA — an 8-year-old author, BBC Blue Peter Gold Badge recipient, and world record holder from Birmingham. Our mission is to use the power of young voices to inspire children everywhere to read, write, and dream without limits.
We create opportunities for children to explore creativity, share stories, and build confidence through books, competitions, workshops, and community projects — championing the belief that when children see other children succeed, they believe in their own potential.
I love writing because writing is fun. I like people to read what I write and to use their imagination and write their own stories too.

What People Say
5.0 stars across 27 verified Google reviews
“We had the pleasure of taking 60 Year 2 children to the Library of Birmingham on World Book Day to visit Jayce. The experience was truly enriching and inspiring for the children, especially since Jayce was the same age as them. The children left with a renewed love for reading and a deeper appreciation for the world of books.”
“Jayce came to Short Wood Primary School and delivered an amazing assembly to our children. His enthusiasm and passion for reading and writing inspired our children to want to become writers themselves. We are so pleased that Jayce was able to visit us!”
“It was a sensational event. Jayce inspired our youngest library visitors during this Black History Month Story Time Special, with an informative question and answer session.”
