About Justine

For the past four years, Justine has been the Reset Centre Manager at The Marches School and has witnessed the impact and importance of a culture of belonging and the need for a highly structured, inclusive, and nurturing approach for our most vulnerable learners.

Working with MATi, Justine is looking forward to supporting our Trust secondary schools bringing the Learning for Life framework alive to enable all our young people to experience inclusion, success, learning, ambition, nurture, and development.
