Emma Collicott

Trust Governor

05/03/2024 – 04/03/2028

Emma is currently a Year 4 teacher at New Bradwell School, having completed a PGCE and her ECT training following a career change. She has a degree in Product Design, Innovation and Marketing and previously worked at IBM and Fujitsu, where she worked on several accounts and projects and lead different teams. Emma has worked with large budgets, devised marketing plans and strategies, managed huge-scale events, coordinated teams of people, provided support and worked collaboratively.

Passionate about supporting and nurturing children, Emma was fortunate to combine this with her love of STEM, and in her career be involved in many events looking at the future of women in IT, Science and Engineering. This enabled her to work on major campaigns aimed at girls aged 7-15 to promote careers in these areas where she ran events such as sleepovers at the Science Museum in London and weekend camps. Emma’s variety of experience and skills are ideally suited to the role of governor at Jubilee Wood.

Tracey Matthews

Chair

01/09/2021 – 31/08/2025

Tracey has two grown-up children, speaks four languages and enjoys cooking and spending time with her horse. She has held senior leadership positions in two Further Education Colleges, the latter being Milton Keynes College for seven years, with her focus being on employer engagement and apprenticeships. Tracey has a proven track record of turning around poorly performing provision and has been the Apprenticeship Ofsted lead during this time. Tracey enjoyed a fantastic primary education which she believes prepared her for her next steps, while her experiences with her own children’s education showed her how a negative experience can impact not only the young people, but their families too.

While working with MK College, Tracey was able to see the challenges of poverty, deprivation and low aspiration faced by those working in education and how important it is to have a positive impact the lives of the children they work with. Tracey brings a wealth of experience in leadership and quality improvement to Jubilee Wood School.

Aldo’s experience includes negotiation, interpreting differences in protocols, gap analysis and all aspects of business operations, which he believes are of great benefit to the role of Governor. Aldo is a great believer in primary education forming a sold foundation for children’s future endeavours and is therefore of fundamental importance for all.

Carole Wilson-Frizzell

Trust Governor

16/03/2023 – 15/03/2027

Carole has an interest in quality education for all learners, but her passion and drive is for inclusion and SEND. Her main driver is to ensure every student has equal access to the whole curriculum, aspirational outcomes and perhaps , most importantly an enjoyable experience of their time spent in school/education at any age.

Carole’s ethos is to celebrate difference as strengths. She is currently Director of a special needs college, and she has a wide range of both teaching and management experience with SEND and high needs funded learners in further education provisions, which has led her to realise that the journey for these young people starts in their early years of education and it essential to get this right. Carole therefore became a SEN Governor for a local primary school in my area, which opened her eyes to the complexity of supporting these children who are at the start of identifying their needs and abilities.

Carole has a background supporting a wide range of neuro diverse needs and abilities, an understanding of EHCPs and meeting outcomes and is currently safeguarding lead and has responsibility for curriculum development in her current full time role.

Roger Owen

Vice Chair & Trust Governor

25/04/2022 – 24/04/2026

Roger has lived in Milton Keynes for nearly forty years. His three children all attended local schools and two of his grandchildren live in Wolverton and also go to local schools.

Roger is now retired, but for the majority of his working life he had a career in secondary education teaching mostly Chemistry and Physics. Since retiring he has also served on the Governing Body of a Federation of two Milton Keynes primary schools.

Roger is familiar with the duties and responsibilities associated with school governorship and is aware of the numerous expectations placed on teachers and support staff. However, despite the many and various challenges involved in delivering a curriculum that is subject to frequent, and at times speculative, changes, Roger is aware that it is the welfare, wellbeing and development of the children that must be the prime consideration in all aspects of each pupil’s experience of school – including those affected directly or indirectly by actions or decisions taken by the Governing Body.

Sam Mills

Trust Governor

16/03/2023 – 15/03/2027

Sam was born and raised in Milton Keynes and attended Two Mile Ash and Walton High. Unfortunately Sam’s experience in the education system was not a positive one, which resulted in him leaving education early. However, at the age of 18, he was given the opportunity to work in an administration role for the Foreign Office, which gave him a renewed sense of self-worth which soon turned into what was to become the start of a very successful career. Sam moved into a technology consulting role at Hewlett Packard, and worked in various roles in international banks, telecoms and finally where he is now a Global Manager for a Financial and Professional Services organisation.

During this time, Sam gained various qualifications, including a CIPD, and his experience has him me to do a lot of work in the Social Impact, Social Mobility and ESG space, most recently leading a stream of work for a government commissioned taskforce to improve social mobility. Sam strongly believes there should be more support for this as generations are being lost with the rich-poor divide increasing each day.

Sam welcomes any opportunity to contribute to a better society for young people, including his own son, to grow up in.
