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’m Jess Wrigley the Deputy Headteacher at Jubilee School.
I started teaching in 2001 in a mainstream primary school in a deprived part of Southampton. This is where my love of teaching those who find learning challenging began. From there, I moved to work in a non-maintained school where a large percentage of the children were in either residential or foster care. After 8 years there, I had a thorough understanding of the care system and the relationship between care and education and moved to work in a secure children’s home. Nearly all the students placed there were in care and presented with a much wider range of challenges and issues.
I’ve been deputy head at Jubilee since September 2021 and love my job. I’m one of those lucky people who genuinely looks forward to coming to work on a Monday morning. Each student at Jubilee is unique and teaches me something every day. Building relationships is the strongest foundation for working with vulnerable students; previously school has been a negative experience for them and it’s our job to help them see that not all schools, not all teachers are the same. I enjoy the challenges that arise every day and it’s impossible to get bored or run out of things to do when you work at Jubilee.
Assistant Headteacher
I am Candy Affleck, Assistant Headteacher at Jubilee School.
I have been 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 charted science teacher for my contributions to teaching and research.
Since joining Jubilee School, I have been involved in refurbishing the science room into a fully functioning laboratory and have introduced science for all across the whole school. This has led to accredited qualifications that are tailored tour pupils with the lessons being of a practical nature and students learning through enquiry.
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.
