Congratulations to Miss S M Jenkins, who in recognition of all her extraordinary services to education was appointed OBE, Order of the British Empire, in the 2013 New Year’s Honours’ List.

Miss Jenkins is a genuine role model for both staff and students in her tenacious approach to teaching and learning. She is more than a head teacher, she is an absolute inspiration, who works tirelessly to get the best from everybody.

Miss Jenkins is an exemplary leader who has always focused upon the attainment and well being of the students in St. Joseph’s RC High School.
