Case study
VICKY
& LISA.
Vicky Cross and Lisa Crow
are both members of the
IT and Business teaching team
“Vicky: The best thing
about working here is
definitely the students
and the staff.
Everyone is here for the right
reasons; to make a difference.
There’s a great culture and a
real focus on people.
The advice I’d give to my
16-year-old self is to take every
opportunity that you can.
A qualification
will get you the
interview, but it’s
the employment
edge that will
get you the job.
Case study
We give our students lots of
work experience opportunities
and it’s those that grasp them
with both hands and make the
most of them that end up being
the most successful.
Having a qualification will get
you the interview, but it’s the
employment edge – which
you’ll get from these real world
experiences – that will get you
the job.
Lisa: The advice I’d give
is that I always thought
there were clever people
and not so clever people
and that that’s just the
way things were.
However, what I’ve learnt as
I’ve got older is that if you work
hard and you put your mind to
something and you focus you
can achieve great things.
