Speaker: Jill Blakeney, School Nurse, Bredon School
Jill is the school nurse at Bredon School, a small rural boarding school in Worcestershire specializing in dyslexia and associated neurodiversities. With nearly a decade in this role, she has developed a good understanding of neurodiverse needs and takes a hands-on, compassionate approach to student care.
Jill trained as a nurse at Guy’s Hospital, London, in the early 1990s, just before the launch of Project 2000. Her early career included working in endocrinology and renal medicine before she became adventurous! She then worked as a first aider and camp manager in children’s holiday camps in France, joining the medical team for Raleigh International, and became a project manager for World Challenge, leading student expeditions worldwide. She has also been part of the medical team for the Everest Marathon in Nepal and led canoeing trips down the Ganges in India.
After moving to Guernsey, Jill took on a unique nursing role at the Guernsey Cheshire Home, where she led adaptive exercise programs for residents with disabilities. From tandem cycling with blind residents to facilitating marathons for wheelchair users, she had to find creative ways to make movement and adventure accessible to all.
Since returning to the UK, Jill has been in her role at Bredon School, where she combines her medical skills with a deep passion for student well-being. Although she does not consider herself an academic, she is a strong advocate for lifelong learning, adaptability, and the power of hands-on experience.
A relevant personal connection to her current engagement is that Jill’s 18-year-old son is also a type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at the age of 14. In support of the diabetes community, she recently ran the London Marathon to raise funds for Diabetes UK.
