What have you achieved since leaving Blackfen Sixth Form?:&nbsp;I attended University, studying Business and achieved&nbsp;a First Class degree.

I then completed my&nbsp;PGCE at UCL Institute of Education, and now I teach Business studies full time at Blackfen.

What are your fondest memories of Blackfen Sixth Form?: How much of a close family it felt like. Especially in terms of all the support with uni, jobs and leaving sixth form. The trips were obviously a highlight too!

Subjects I studied at Blackfen School:&nbsp;GCSEs &mdash; Art/ Geography / Children development studies/ DT
A- Levels- Art / Health and Social Care / Sociology

What have you achieved since leaving Blackfen School?:&nbsp;Since leaving Blackfen, I went to Canterbury Christ Church University and studied Primary Education to become a teacher.
Since leaving University, I have become Lower- School Lead (EYFS and KS1). I have been subject lead for Art, DT and science over the last few years. And now head of Maths and Forest schools.

What are your fondest memories of Blackfen School?:&nbsp;How supportive all the staff were and the life skills I was taught. I am dyslexic&nbsp;and they taught me not to let this stop me and how to overcome barriers. I was told by my peers and members of the community that I would struggle to even get through my GCSEs now I look at where I am in my career and proud of how well I have done in a short period of time.
Even after leaving Blackfen, one of the loving TAs that supported me, helped me through my first year at university.

What are your fondest memories of Blackfen School?:&nbsp;I enjoyed most of my time at school, making friendships that last a lifetime. I will always remember the support I received from staff &mdash; in particular Miss Smith!
