Cambian Tyldesley School
Jemma Westby

Head Teacher

Jemma Westby

Jemma started at Tyldesley School in January 2017, initially starting as a Maths teacher, having had a successful teaching career within offender learning for 9 years, working with the most disadvantaged adults within the community. From the start of her career with Cambian, she strongly believed in the views of Cambian and their Ethos to safeguard and educate young people that have had historic disengagement from education.

 

Since Jemma’s appointment as Maths teacher in 2017, her career has progressed quickly. Having started in post as a Maths teacher, she supported and implemented a suitable curriculum in accordance with the students’ abilities. Jemma then became the Deputy Head Teacher after the OFSTED inspection in November 2018. In November 2016, just before her employment began at the school, it was deemed inadequate by OFSTED. Jemma helped to support the rapid and successful turnaround of the school, taking it from inadequate to Good with an outstanding feature for behavior, welfare and safety of students.

 

Jemma recently secured the job of Head Teacher in September 2020 and is continuing to drive the school forwards. The school has built strong community links with external providers and Local Authorities and Jemma is committed to the school and strives to support the school to be the very best in the business.
