Subjects I studied at Blackfen School: For GCSE I studied History, Business Studies and Food Technology as well as the mandatory classes.

What have you achieved since leaving Blackfen School?: Since Blackfen, I spent 5 years working in the Solicitors office of HMRC, moved to work in Business Continuity at Barclays for 12 year and assisted in moving them from a Business Continuity Programme to Business Resilience. For the last 2 years I have been Business Resilience Lead at Direct Line Group, implementing new standards and processes to align to enhanced regulatory requirements.

What are your fondest memories of Blackfen School?: When I think back to my time at Blackfen I always remember the great friends I made and the wonderful teachers. Mr WD for History and Mr Morrell for Biology particularly. The teachers employed by Blackfen really cared and made learning fun. I really wouldn't be where I am had it not been for them.

Blackfen left a lasting impression with me and this resulted in my eldest daughter starting Blackfen in 2017 and my youngest is due to start September 2019.
