Steph joined the school in November 2018

She was always a very active member of her year group, being able to discuss and argue a point with the best of them!

Steph gained very good GCSE grades in English, Mathematics, study Graphics and Art in her first year after also moving residence from the main Grateley site to Stratford Lodge.

Steph was well suited to the college way of life as she enjoyed the independence and freedom it offered, (sometimes a little too much!)

In her second year at college she elected to study A level Psychology and Criminology motivated by her love of real life crime books and documentaries. Again, having achieved interim qualifications she made a third and final change to public uniform services which has ignited her desire to become a firefighter.

Steph has faced many challenges in her time at Grateley but over the years she has developed tenacity, resilience and fortitude to overcome difficulties and push on through.

We hope that your successful application and training to becoming an on call firefighter proves fruitful and we look forward to hearing how you get on as you develop in your chosen career.
