CONGRATULATIONS MR CAINE

Mr Caine, an Assistant Vice Principal at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic High School has been awarded an MBE for services to children, in the King’s Birthday Honours List. 

A member of the senior leadership team, he has worked at our school for over three years and provides essential support to the Year 7 team and their students, as well as overseeing the work of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion teams.  

He is also Scouts Section Team Member for 1st Tarporley and also performs the role of UK Lead Volunteer for People for the Scouts leading on transformational work around volunteer experience.  

The school says that since joining the school, Jack, a father-of-one, has played a crucial role in a range of initiatives to support the teaching and learning of students with SEND. 

These include the co-ordination of the curriculum for The Oratory, a one-of-a-kind specialist secondary-age ASD resource unit in Halton and also the reintroduction of the Duke of Edinburgh award programme accessible to children of all backgrounds.  

In a statement, Mr Caine said: “The challenges for students, particularly those from the most vulnerable backgrounds, have been on the increase since we emerged from the pandemic, so it feels especially meaningful for the important work of teaching and support staff to be recognised with an award held in such high regard.” 

“When I received the news of the MBE, I was initially shocked and couldn’t quite believe it, but once I told my family the reality of it started to sink in.” 

“I really enjoy my work and volunteering, but I genuinely couldn’t do it without such wonderful and caring colleagues who work so hard to provide outstanding teaching and pastoral care to the children we serve and I accept this award with full appreciation and gratitude for their support.” 

“I get great satisfaction out of teaching, but also being able to give back to the community through my voluntary work is just as rewarding.” 

“I feel incredibly proud, yet humbled, to receive this honour.” 

The school’s principal, Mrs Scott, added: “I am absolutely delighted that Mr Caine has been awarded an MBE in the 2025 King’s Birthday Honours List. 

“We are extremely proud of him and this achievement is deserved recognition of his dedication and commitment to his profession and to the learning and wellbeing of our students.  

“I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Mr Caine on receiving such a prestigious honour for the exemplary work he has shown throughout his entire time at our school.”
