September 2014
Employed
I graduated this July just gone (July 2020) – graduating with a 1st Class Honours degree into a profession that essentially had temporarily closed! In terms of professional theatre, my options were extremely limited (it was dance classes in my living room for the foreseeable!). However, during 2nd year I had decided to get my Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification (a separate venture alongside college). So, when life went virtual and everything seemed to rapidly slow down, it seemed like a good time to attain my Level 3 Personal Trainer course. Since March I have been working as a virtual Personal Trainer, building my personal private business as an online coach whilst also training for my Level 4 Personal training and nutrition coach qualification. In August, I also started at a brand-new boutique gym in Central London as a group class fitness instructor. Somewhere during that crazy time over summer, I also managed to sign with a theatre agent, whom I am still with at the moment. Although there is very little performing work around right now, I am keeping happily busy with my private PT business.

University
Hi I’m Libbi and after completing 7 years at Spalding High School beginning in 2013, I left last year in 2020, although a few months earlier than we had all expected! During my time at Sixth Form I studied Biology (A*), Chemistry (A*) and Maths (A*), and I now attend the University of Nottingham where I study Medicine (which still feels very surreal to say !).

Employed
Hi! My name is Imogen and I am a Practice Nurse at Market Deeping Practice. In 2011, I commenced my studies at Spalding High School. I really enjoyed my time at school, participating in lots of extra-curricular activities such as school productions and trips to places such as Belgium and Passo Tonale (skiing trip). For my GCSEs, I chose to study Health and Social Care, History and Geography. I knew from quite an early age I wanted a career in healthcare so felt these options were the most facilitating towards my career path. I found the exams hard however knew it was a step to where I wanted to be and managed to pass all my exams
