    Mrs Jacqui Brooks BA (QTS) MA, NPQH

    Leadership Team - HeadTeacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead I have been the head of New Reflexions’ school since its origin in September 2008 and I am immensely proud of the vibrant learning community which it has become. More recently I have been delighted to oversee the expansion of the school to include a primary provision alongside the expanded secondary provision. My role involves the day to day running of the school, liaising with a vast range of professionals who support our students, as well as welcoming new referrals and teaching. My best days are when I get to do fun activities with our students, especially if they are a little bit competitive!

    Leadership Team - Deputy Head and Primary Phase Lead, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead. I’ve taught in Brighton, Edinburgh, Thailand, and Madagascar, experiences that have shaped my belief in the power of shared, positive moments in education. Sport has always been central to my teaching — whether coaching cricket, rugby, or football, I value the teamwork and confidence that grow on the pitch. As Deputy Head, I’m committed to fostering a supportive, joyful school culture where every child feels part of something meaningful.
