Spotlight on Talent : Cassie Knight

Cassie Knight
Studied BTEC Level 3 Sport (Coaching & Fitness) – now a PE Teacher

“I didn’t think sixth form was for me and I wanted to move in to a different environment. Coming to an Open Day really gave me an insight in the opportunities that studying here would open up for me.

“I loved the practical aspect of the course, from using the gym and working on my own fitness to training other students using the skills I was learning. My tutors were always very supportive and gave me feedback on what I could improve to help me achieve my goals.

“Throughout my time at college, I was always made aware of all the different career options as well as the routes available to me after I finished this course, which showed me how I could use my skills in the future.

“Passing the course enabled me to go to university and do a degree in Sport and then get in to teaching, a job I really love. I have a massive passion for sport and helping to inspire and teach young children is extremely rewarding.”
