Former pupil 'thrilled' to become UCM principal

A former UCM student is returning to the Island to become the new principal.

Jesamine Kelly began working in education in 2008 and has a number of qualifications under her belt.

She said she's thrilled about the job as she has many happy memories at UCM.

“I am looking forward to working with students, parents, carers, staff, employers and the wider community to take the college on the next phase of its journey.

“On a recent family visit, I was delighted to see the fantastic facilities and resources, and I’m excited to work with the dedicated staff to ensure students fulfil their potential, and enjoy an excellent and inclusive experience which enables them to flourish.," she continued. 

The former Castle Rushen pupil is expected to take on her new role next year.
