Welcome from the Headteacher
I’m Jo Summers and I am very proud to be the Headteacher here at Jubilee School.
I have been in education for 30 years, starting my career as a Design & Technology / Food Studies teacher. Ten years ago I found my passion working in special education. I thoroughly enjoy my role at the school and working with such committed and enthusiastic staff who put the needs of the students above all else.
Here at Jubilee School our aim is to provide all students with the best possible outcomes in preparation for lifelong learning. We believe it is important that students acquire skills, knowledge and confidence that can be applied to all future learning experiences, including social, physical and spiritual development. We endeavour to raise aspirations and expectations for all students, by working in partnership with students, parents/carers and outside agencies.
Jubilee provides:
- A safe, happy place for all our studentss with a secure learning environment where students’ needs are met, stretched and supported.
- Personalised learning for all where students are encouraged to develop resilience, confidence, and responsibility.
- Everyone is equal and valued and all achievements are celebrated.
Students leave us believing they have a role to play in society.
Deputy Headteacher
I am Candy Affleck, Interim Deputy Headteacher at Jubilee School.
I have over 20 years experience teaching in a variety of settings, which also includes various management leads. I have recently been selected as a member of the Royal Society of Biology and am a chartered Science teacher for my contributions to teaching and research. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in Cancer research. I am in the lucky position to say that I have now worked in both the jobs I dreamed of since being a child.
Since joining Jubilee School, I have enjoyed being involved in the development of the Curriculum and watching the numbers of students increase and seeing our students through the key stages.
My current role is within the role of Behaviour and Attitudes and supporting the Interim Executive Headteacher in her role.
Assistant Headteacher
I am Tim Astill, interim Assistant Headteacher at Jubilee School. With over 20 years’ experience in teaching maths within mainstream secondary schools, I have developed a deep passion for education and a commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for all students.
My transition to an SEMH school was motivated by my desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pupils with complex needs. I understand the unique challenges these students face, and I firmly believe in the potential of each individual.
I am enjoying being part of this supportive team and I look forward to contributing to the future of Jubilee School.
Assistant Headteacher
I am Jonathan Satherley, Assistant Headteacher at Jubilee School. I have over 25 years’ experience of supporting people with complex and emotional needs through a variety of settings of both residential and educational. This experience has given me an understanding of the importance of building self-worth and confidence whilst building positive and supportive relationships.
I previously worked at Jubilee School as the SENCo and quickly discovered the wonderful safe and encouraging environment Jubilee provides its students and staff. I am now looking forward to new challenges and exciting developments working as Assistant Headteacher, building on the amazing work and practices already in place and the new ventures and opportunities in the future.
SENCo
I am Charlotte Cunningham, the SENCo at Jubilee School. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting young people with a range of special educational needs in varying roles and settings. Within my role of SENCo at Jubilee, I have the pleasure of working closely with the young people, their parents/carers, and various other professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for our students.
I joined the team at Jubilee School in September 2021 and can genuinely say, that it is the most welcoming and supportive school I have ever worked in. Each day at Jubilee brings new challenges and experiences, and I feel incredibly lucky to be a member of such a wonderful school community, working alongside an amazing team of staff and students.
