Bio
Lauren Coombes
I was lucky enough to work with Vicky in my first job following university. Vicky epitomises professionalism and I was always so impressed at the way Vicky can get a job done whilst making it as enjoyable as possible for her learners. Vicky had the respect of absolutely everyone around her and is so approachable. Always creative in trying to find the best solution to support others around her, I learned some really valuable qualities from Vicky that I will take with me for the rest of my career. I couldn't have asked for anything else in a colleague, I'd recommend her unreservedly to any educational setting.

Jul 2019 - Present
I manage and coordinate across the campuses, two programs for students between the ages of 14 and 16, who attend Activate Learning campuses to complete vocational courses and/or work towards successfully gaining their GCSE's, working with students who are on roll at Secondary Schools and with those who are Electively Home Educated. I have created and I manage an online progamme for students who are unable to access face to face education due to mental health and illness. I support students through their courses with the colleges, by providing pastoral care, mentoring, assistance and guidance throughout all stages of their learning. I liaise with our teachers, faculty managers, with parents and carers as well as other professional agencies, as well as the students' own schools in order to ensure the best care and education is provided to them. Additionally I teach classes tailored to the needs of our students, to help them cope better in college, to be more productive and to gain an education. I have designed and implemented policies and procedures to ensure that legislation and procedures are being followed across the campuses. I am also the lead safeguarding officer for the pre 16's.
