Jubilee High welcomes international guests

A host of international guests visited an Addlestone school to mark four years of its Church of England affiliation.

Jubilee High School in School Lane was visited on Wednesday October 14 by Bishop Michel from Evry, France, and his three colleagues, and they were shown around the school by Canon Derek Holbird, director of education at Jubilee and Reverend Charles Steward of St Mary's Church, Walton.

Councillor David Parr, chairman of the governors, said: "It is vital that young people encounter values of self worth and self belief in their education and this is achieved at Jubilee through and emphasis on spiritual values."

Students at Jubilee greeted the guests before they met Gareth Balch, the principal, who explained that regular collective worship helps students develop moral values.
