In The Mix July 2025
Hello from our CEO’s
Dear Students, Families and Guardians
Well, Summer has officially arrived and usually, that’s our cue to brace ourselves for three solid weeks of drizzle, followed by a surprise snow warning in August. But this year, we’re feeling quietly confident. The sun is shining (for now), and it’s time to swap classrooms for ice creams, early starts for lie-ins, and revision notes for beach towels. You’ve earned it.
What a year it’s been!
There have been so many highs, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything you have all achieved. We’ll start with the big one: Ofsted rated us GOOD. A huge moment for SupaJam not just a tick in the box, but a true recognition of the work we all do together. It’s your resilience, energy, creativity and kindness that helped get us there.
LINK TO OFSTED REPORT
But the real pride comes from watching you, our students, grow, push yourselves, and succeed in ways both big and small. From smashing Functional Skills exams to securing places at university, you’ve blown us away. We’ve seen you step up, speak out, and take on the world one brave move at a time.
This year also brought some incredible experiences. Whether it was Glastonbury (where the mud was surprisingly mild), The Great Escape Festival, or being part of the launch of our new charity, The SupaJam Foundation, you’ve grabbed every opportunity with both hands and we’ve seen you shine.
And when we return in September, we’re back with a bang: our fourth SupaJam college opens in Wandsworth, and it’s already fully booked. What a sign of how far we’ve come!
But that’s not all… We’re also counting down to Black Deer Festival in October, where more amazing students will get hands-on experience in the music industry. And beyond that? Let’s just say we have a few more surprises up our sleeves but we’ll keep those under wraps for now.
To our students: thank you for inspiring us. Every. Single. Day.
To our families: thank you for your trust, your support, and your belief in what we do.
Have a restful, joyful, and absolutely fantastic summer. If you are leaving us this year please don’t be a stranger. Keep in touch and let us know how you’re doing. We will miss you so much but wish you all the very best of luck for the future - not that you need it! Whatever you end up doing we hope you take a little piece of SupaJam wherever you go.
To the rest of you…We can’t wait to see you again in September!
With our very best wishes, David Court and Nick Stillwell
The SupaJam Foundation is an exciting new charity designed to give even more support to young people (15-26) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, helping them to overcome barriers to education and break into the music industry.
According to the DfE, over 170,000 young people faced severe absenteeism from their educational provision between 23/24, in part due to poor mental health, with a significant number of them having SEND.
The SupaJam Foundation is aiming to combat this with music therapy, counselling, mentoring, and immersive industry experiences, improving the mental well-being and career prospects of our participants.
The Foundation has secured funding for group counselling for all SupaJam students as a part of their curriculum, with an aim to start in October 2025. Sessions will be delivered by professional counsellors and will explore emotional regulation as a foundation of positive mental health, leading on to discussions of resilience and management strategies of anxiety and depression.

MENTORING PROGRAMME
Transitioning from one establishment to another can be one of the hardest times in anyone's life, leaving young people feeling vulnerable and susceptible to dropping out of their university course or job or university. Mentors can offer these young people their experience, wisdom, and encouragement, and support them to settle into their new placement with confidence and success.
Are you leaving SupaJam this year, and would you like support with your next steps?
You will meet with your mentor online once a week/ fortnight for practical and emotional support to help you meet your current goals.

The Lottery Winners
The charity officially launched on the 23rd of May 2025, with an amazing performance by UK number one band The Lottery Winner’s. TLW were sound checked by four students from the Swanley and Canterbury SupaJam colleges, gaining valuable live event work experience. An amazing event to add to their CV! Thom Rylance gave a poignant speech about the importance of alternative education and how the UK’s education system needs to change. Want to take a look?

The Young Carers Festival
Partnering with The Children’s Society, the charity supported the Young Carers Festival at Fairthorne Manor in Southampton. Six students from Swanley SupaJam college attended the festival to provide live sound on the music stage, as well as establish an art installation, and provide mentoring for the Young Carer’s Band. Sharing their experiences and talents with the younger children was a huge opportunity not only for these students to demonstrate their knowledge of the industry, but also to reflect on their own journeys and how much experience they had already gained along the way. Several of the students (and staff!) then went on to perform their own set, giving the audience a phenomenal showcase of their talent.

“When I’m older I would love to be an artist and sing on stage; to be an inspiration for those who have disabilities. There’s no such thing as can’t. Anyone can do anything.”
Returning to college, Storm said, “I had the most wonderful time doing stage management, shadowing people, overlooking the crowd, giving water out, looking after artists, and having such a great time working as a trainee. It was interesting camping for a week, but I absolutely loved it!”
Black Deer returns!
In October 2025, the SupaJam Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with the SupaJam colleges at the amazing event Black Deer in the City. The famous Country and Americana event is coming to the big smoke and promising to deliver even more delicious music, food, dance and style. The Foundation and colleges will be supporting a small group of beneficiaries to gain experience at the festival in roles such as artist liaison, stage management, performance, social media management, event journalism and more.

Music for Mental Health
This summer, the SupaJam Foundation will be partnering with the colleges to run the ‘Music For Mental Health’ programme across the Swanley and Brighton bases, providing funding for group music sessions with a therapeutic aim. Under the tutelage of the brilliant college staff, the programme will provide a safe space for students to explore creative expression, nurture peer relationships, and build music industry skills such as musicianship and live sound.
SupaJam Foundation Mentoring Programme has

SupaJam Wandsworth
We’re thrilled to share that our biggest milestone this year has been the launch of Wandsworth! Wandsworth College is all set to open its doors this September, welcoming an enthusiastic cohort of students and a fantastic team of staff who truly embody the SupaJam ethos. Their dedication to inclusive music education is already shining through, and we can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make.
Stay tuned we’re looking forward to sharing more updates with you as the 2025/26 academic year gets underway!
“Hi I’m Hattie, SupaJam Wandsworth’s new college leader! I’m a singer who plays and produces my own music as well as being able to accompany myself on guitar. I’m really looking forward to working with SupaJam to continue sharing my love and passion for music and supporting others to gain access to this wonderful creative industry. Bring on September!”
SupaJam Swanley
It’s been a challenging year for SupaJam Swanley, but through it all, the team and students have emerged stronger and more united than ever. We’re incredibly proud of the supportive community that’s grown out of a tough season and now, with Dan Hemsley stepping into his new role as College Lead (after doing a fantastic job as our Curriculum Lead and Level 3 teacher), Swanley is ready for an exciting new chapter. With a brand-new studio space opening in September, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back under two roofs for what promises to be a fresh year!
"To all of our 2025 Swanley leavers, I just want to say a huge best of luck to all of you with your next steps. It has been amazing to be a part of your journeys at SupaJam and you will all be missed dearly! Although, I am jealous that you get to escape the portakabins and constant building noise..."
SupaJam Canterbury
Canterbury has had a wonderful year, filled with incredible gigs, meaningful work experience opportunities, and a whole lot of creativity. We’re so proud of everything the students have achieved and can’t wait to see what next year brings!
“As we reach the end of another academic year, I wanted to take a moment to take in all that we have achieved this year, and the staff and I want to thank you for the memories! From you all I have seen growth, resilience and remarkable accomplishments you should all be very proud of. Whether you are completing a year or preparing to leave us, each of you have contributed to the amazing success of SupaJam Canterbury.

SupaJam Brighton
It’s been a busy but exciting year in Brighton and the SupaJam team are already excited about the new academic year. This September, we’re excited to kick off with our largest cohort yet, now running five days a week and with Abbie Hill officially joining the team as our College Lead , we’re ready for our biggest and best year so far!
“What a wonderful year it’s been! It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting all the students, and I’ve felt truly welcomed into the Supajam Brighton team. While we’re saying goodbye to some of our original Brighton students, we wish them the very best in their next adventures. We’re also looking forward to welcoming new students and expanding to five days a week, creating even more opportunities for learning, growth, and creativity at Supajam.”
The Great Escape
By Arthur Coates
The Great Escape festival is a yearly multi venue festival dedicated to bringing new music from all over the world to Brighton. Previous years’ artists have included Adele, Charli XCX, Ed Sheran, Amyl And The Sniffers and many others, the festival is famous for bringing early attention to future stadium fillers. This year's line up was a vast improvement from the previous, the majority of that roster had been affected by pro Palestinian boycotts. Fortunately after dropping Barclays as a major sponsor for TGE, this year's lineup had been left unaffected by protests.
I managed to see over ten bands in the two days that I attended the festival. I started things off strong with Manchester punks, Bruise Controle at Volks. The band's thirty minute, Guinness fueled, sauna of a set was a chaotic and cramped kick in the head. The group's blend of indie rock and hardcore punk was a perfect combination for The Great Escape, the crowd were very receptive to having drinks spilt in their hair, muleted men shouting in their face and slipping along the floor. My only issue with Bruise Controle is that they sounded so good and had so much energy live that when I listened through their back catalogue I couldn't help feeling like I was missing something.
Next up on Thursday were The Bug Club at the Old Market. Welsh garage rockers played one of the most joyful sets I have had the pleasure of seeing. I have been aware of this band since hearing “out in the streets” on the radio, unfortunately for me they didn’t play it at the old market. They did play a good chunk off their new album “On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System” and a few tracks from the upcoming release “Appropriate Emotions”. The band's less is more approach, knack for clever and funny songs as well as a charming stage presence has given The Bug Club a good deal of attention. My personal favourite songs from the set were “War Movies” and “Quality Pints”.
On Friday night I saw London mods, The Molotovs, at The Mesmerist. This set was part of the Alt Escape, a free festival that takes place beside TGE. Considering there was a very long queue for their official set at The Hope And Ruin i was very lucky to get into The Mesmerist at such short notice. The Molotovs have generated quite a buzz around them, mostly for being so young and looking like The Jam. Support slots with The Libertines and The Sex Pistols aren’t given to just anyone, so surely they’re doing something right. The atmosphere in the venue was one of anticipation and expectation. Both old and young had heard great things and were ready to be entertained. The band did deliver, they played with the energy and aggression of early punk. Watching them live gave me the same feeling as when I first discovered Dead Kennedys and Misfits. Musically the band blended mod traditions with pop punk, punk, garage rock and a splash glam added with a Bowie cover. Overall, the gig was a personal highlight but I couldn’t help but feel that the group’s image and sound was entirely manufactured, lacking any substance or invitation. But at the end of the day if I had fun in the moment, does it really matter?
We’ve made a documentary to capture the truly incredible time we had at The Great Escape Festival 2025! Check it out via the QR code and get excited for next year’s festival (we already are!).
Homegrown Festival
By Arthur Coates
Homegrown Festival is a one day, multi venue festival similar to The Great Escape. But unlike The Great Escape, Homegrown is fully independent, run by the venues to celebrate Brighton's Grassroots music scene. This was the second year that Homegrown took place and by all accounts it was bigger and better than last year, not just because my band was playing. I played at one of my favourite venues, The Rossi Bar. This venue is especially important to the scene in Brighton because it is free to hire. Everybody gets their start there, including me.
Most bands in Brighton have played there more times than they can count. Playing at Homegrown was probably my fifth time playing at the Rossi. And we’ve only been on the scene for a year. As we were opening the festival we were sceptical about how many people would come to see us, but fortunately Brighton had a very supportive scene and the venue was full. We played well if I do say so myself, but I feel I could have been a better front man.
Being the first band on meant that the crowd were a bit more sedate than they often are in the evening. An Australian said “They would have been much better later on”. Perhaps seeing us sober makes us worse? We played 11 songs in about 25 minutes, less is often more when it comes to live music. Father John Misty, who I saw earlier this month and indulged himself in a 30 minute encore, could take a few notes…
I got the opportunity to open the festival as the organisers of Homegrown had been coming into Supajam for monthly talks about how they got into the music industry and how they became part of running a festival. I think they wanted a band from Supajam to be part of the festival from the beginning, but I also kept pestering them in person and on emails. I also met Lilly from Lambrini Girls this way.
On the same day as Homegrown we opened for Lambrini Girls at their sold out show at Chalk. Going from playing in front of 60 people to 400 on the same day was very strange. Bands with managers, sending invoices, a proper soundcheck. All things I'm not used to. Obviously I felt nervous and out of place. When we played people seemed to be receptive to our amateurish style of punk, some people even seemed to like it. Over a month later I still feel smug about it. I see other, more successful and quite frankly better bands in Brighton and think “you haven't played Chalk”. We probably would have gotten some good gigs off the back of it if we didn't have the worst name in the scene. Oh well, it's changing soon.
Before Chalk I treated myself to some expensive chips and curry sauce. I burnt my mouth a bit. Pros and cons.
r Room Beats: Supa
DJ’s Go Live
On Wednesday 25th June, SupaJam Canterbury students hosted an incredible Boiler Room-style DJ event. The Machine Room was buzzing early in the morning as students arrived to set up and rehearse their sets. The technical team ran extensive tests throughout the day in preparation for a major achievement: broadcasting live DJ sets not only from Canterbury but also from SupaJam Brighton a huge technical feat!
After lunch, the live performances kicked off. SupaJam Radio was treated to dynamic sets from Canterbury’s very own DJ InkTrap, DJ Sween B2B, DJ Luna, and DJ Haggis B@B XX2011NamexX. Their Boiler Room takeover took listeners on a journey from jungle to warehouse, with nods to techno, house, EDM, and drum and bass along the way.
Brighton’s resident DJ LT also joined the lineup, delivering an outstanding set that added even more depth to the event. It wasn’t just about the music—students not performing as DJs played a key role behind the scenes, capturing behind-thescenes footage and documenting the entire experience to ensure every incredible moment was preserved.
Creativity for a Cause: Students Raise Funds for Animal Rescue
Over the past few weeks, our hardworking Swanley Level 1 and 2 students have poured their creativity and energy into a special Social Enterprise Project, crafting beautiful handmade items to support Second Chance Animal Rescue. From hand-painted vases and plates to necklaces adorned with musical charms, their efforts have been nothing short of inspiring.
This initiative has also brought classes togeth with fantastic collaboration from the Level 3.1 students helping shape the upcoming Nature Gig into both a celebration and a meaningful fundraiser for a vital local cause.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our college community through pre-orders and donations, we've already raised around £130 fantastic achievement! SupaJam Swanley wanted to say thank you all for your continue support.
Swanley Staff V Stu Football match
Big up the winners of the Student Football Game 2025 - THE STAFF
It was a close call with a 5-3 score! Our age difference showed as the staff couldn't keep up with the students half the time, but the staff just about managed to pull it out of the bag and bring it back. Well done to all the players for surviving in the 30 degree heat!!��
THANK YOU to students who supported interviews in Wandsworth
Thank you to all the students who supported interviews in Wandsworth. Your input was absolutely crucial in helping us grow and ensuring that the new SupaJam sites will be supported by adults we know we can trust all thanks to you!
Swanley student gig
Swanley kicked off their term with an unforgettable Level 3 gig, featuring a mix of original performances, band covers, and a dedicated group of performers playing to a warm and welcoming audience.
They kept the momentum going with their End of Year Gig – Nature, held on Thursday 17th July in support of animal rescue efforts. With doors opening at 5:30PM and music running from 6PM to 8PM, the evening was another incredible showcase of SupaJam Swanley's talent, passion, and commitment — both to music and to making a difference.
EY STAFF GIG
On Tuesday 20th May 2025 Swanley staff finally gave in to the pleas of their students begging for the return of the Swanley Staff Gig. Having not happened in a long time, staff could see no reason it couldn’t happen this term. Especially considering Swanley are saying goodbye to the last 10 years of being on one site as they welcome the exciting news that Swanley will be i
Shine On and Off Stage at June Showcase Shine On and Off Stage at June Showcase Shine On and Off Stage at June Showcase Shine On and Off Stage at June Showcase
In June, SupaJam Canterbury took over The Lounge for a special offsite gig, celebrating our students’ creativity, dedication, and love for music. With support from Canterbury’s brilliant RSL music teachers, students spent weeks rehearsing a wide range of songs to perform for an audience of peers, staff, and families. But this showcase wasn’t just about what happened on stage - it was also a powerful hands-on learning experience in live event management and production.
From early morning set-up to final performances, our students were involved in every aspect of the day. They took on dual roles as both performers and backstage crew, managing sound checks, lighting, stage transitions, photography, and more. It was an amazing opportunity to build real-world skills while supporting one another behind the scenes. Highlights included George’s heartfelt first vocal performance of “1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins. The Lounge X SupaJam event also showcased one of DJ Owen’s final sets whilst still a SupaJam student. Owen brought the crowd to life with his original track ‘Dude! Look at me!’.
SupaJam Canterbury’s June Showcase filled The Lounge with pride, excitement and really good music - as always. We’re so proud of everyone who helped make the June Showcase such a meaningful and memorable day.
SupaJammin’ SupaJammin’ SSupaJammin’ upaJammin’
On Thursday 10th July, SupaJam Canterbury hosted ‘SupaJammin’ at Ramsgate Music Hall, a truly memorable evening full of talent, energy, and community spirit. The event was a true celebration of everything our wonderful Canterbury students have worked so hard on this term, and the passion and effort behind the scenes were clear to everyone who attended.
Families, friends, and local music lovers gathered to cheer on our incredible performers. The event was the perfect way to see out an incredible academic year at SupaJam Canterbury and highlighted the way in which our students have grown in confidence and the strong community SupaJam Canterbury has created for its students.
Recently a parent emailed in to say ‘I’d like to specifically mention the recent Supajammin’ event at Ramsgate Music Hall. The effort and passion that went into organising and delivering the event was obvious to all. It was a fantastic experience for the students and families alike, and I know it meant the world to Kitty to be part of it. The extra time, energy, and enthusiasm that the team put in to make it such a special day did not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful”.
A massive shout-out goes to our Level 3 student @ewy shoots, whose stunning poster design helped promote the gig. With tickets just £5.50, it was a great value night full of heart, and homegrown talent. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
Brighton X WaterBear
SupaJam Brighton took to the seafront WaterBear venue for their end-of-term show. A warm-up for their big performance at The Hope & Ruin this Saturday, 19th July!
The afternoon was packed with standout moments, from a vibrant rendition of Pink Pony Club, to powerful original songs from Level 1 students, and emotional final performances from some of our graduating Level 3s.
The showstopping choir even drew bar staff into the venue for a closer listen, and the Wellbeing Band delivered a performance full of heart. In truth, every act was a highlight in what was a truly special afternoon.
SupaJam Radio has had an incredible year! We've seen more student podcasts than ever before, hosted live DJ events, and captured exclusive interviews from the amazing festivals and events SupaJam has attended throughout the year. Whether you're tuning in for the latest student-led content or just looking for a great mix of music, SupaJam Radio continues to be the soundtrack to our community.
The station will be broadcasting all summer long, so stay tuned and with new multimedia interviews and exciting content lined up for September, there’s plenty more to come. Don’t forget to keep an eye on Spotify for the latest drops!
Music Shelf
SupaJam Swanley recently welcomed Big Truck for a powerful and intimate Music Shelf Session in the studio, followed by a podcast interview. The performance came just ahead of the band’s sold-out show at The Forum Basement on July 11th, giving our students a rare first look at this explosive new project.
Big Truck is the latest venture from SupaJam’s Sam Coppins, Laurie Vincent (Soft Play), and Asa Thallon a trio blending spiralling guitar and bass lines with hardhitting drums and vocals that range from poetic to guttural. Their sound draws on influences like Fugazi, The Breeders, and Graham Coxon, creating a live experience that’s both hypnotic and high-octane.
With their debut LP set to record in August, this session offered an exclusive taste of what’s to come. Keep an eye out for the podcast interview and highlights, coming soon to SupaJam Radio and Spotify.
Big Truck are performing next week in Tunbridge Wells with a special guest - our very own Swanley Level 3 student ‘Justination’. The gig will be opened by ’Spex Appeal’ formally ‘The Rizza’s’. We’d tell you where to buy tickets but they’ve already sold out!
On Saturday, 14th June, SupaJam Canterbury students and staff had the unforgettable opportunity to attend Festability 2025 at Quex Park, Birchington a vibrant, inclusive music festival designed specifically to celebrate and support people with disabilities. Thanks to the generosity of the event organisers, our students' families could come along allowing everyone to enjoy the day together. For our students, Festability was not just entertaining, but deeply affirming. Surrounded by like-minded music lovers, they danced, sang along, and truly felt part of something special.
The festival featured a wide range of musical acts, sensoryfriendly spaces, and interactive activities. One highlight for many of us was the Silent Disco, where participants wore headphones and danced to music only they could hear. It was a surreal and fun experience it’s safe to say that we were all laughing and dancing together.
Our College Leader, Lindsay, attended with her family, setting a wonderful example of how inclusive events like Festability bring people, families, and communities together in meaningful ways. One of the students brought his grandparents, setting up a huge tent with the best view of the stage and enjoying the music and the wonderful weather.
We’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity and hope to make this a tradition for years to come.
Highlights of Brighton’s work experiences
Brighton Electric Studios, often called the “Abbey Road of Brighton,” was set up in 2000 by James Stringfellow to give self-funded artists access to high-quality, affordable creative spaces. Since then, it’s become a key part of the local music scene, welcoming big names like Charli XCX, Florence Welch, The Noisettes, The Kooks, Royal Blood, and The Maccabees. This term, a few of our lucky Level 3 students got the chance to do work experience there. One of them, Elliot, said, “It was a really enjoyable experience… I learned loads, met great people, and even saw some bands I’ve played with before. The atmosphere was amazing.”
We’re proud of Kacie, our Level 3 student who is heading to university to study Primary Education. She’s been awarded paid work experience with Wishing Well: Music for Mental Health, a charity bringing live music into hospitals across Sussex and Surrey to support wellbeing. The project turns clinical spaces into cultural ones, helping patients, staff, and families feel more connected during difficult times. Kacie has found the experience really enjoyable, though very emotional too.
Beat Goes On is led by Director Ollie, a drummer, percussionist, and educator who delivers workshops, CPD/PD sessions, and keynote presentations internationally all designed to promote wellbeing and creativity through rhythm and music.
“I’ve found doing my work experience with Beat Goes On really inspiring. I’m not sure I want to work with younger students but Ollie, who runs it, is incredible! I chose to do this work experience because I thought it would be the most fun and I wasn’t wrong!”
Gain Career Insight @ UCAS Maidstone 2025
Earlier this term, students from SupaJam Canterbury attended the 2025 UCAS Discovery Event in Maidstone, supported by RSL teacher Annie and DSL Rachel. Bringing together universities, colleges, employers, and apprenticeship providers from across the UK, the event offered a valuable opportunity for students to explore their post-16 and post-18 options in an inclusive, supportive setting. From hands-on activities to one-on-one conversations, students began asking meaningful questions about their futures from pathways aligned with their passions to the kind of support they might receive beyond SupaJam.
The experience proved inspiring and empowering, helping students see how their music skills could translate into real-world opportunities. As one teacher noted, “This kind of event helps our learners see that the future is not only possible it’s exciting.” One student added, “I’m really happy I went with my friends. It was fun, and I got some useful info!” With renewed confidence and motivation, students returned better equipped to take their next steps whether that’s university, training, or employment with a clearer sense of direction and purpose.
