Amanda Sharp
Head Sixth Form
Degree: BEd Business Education
Previous Experience: Worked in a bank in a Gap year.
Greatest Achievement at JWS: Taking students to see Michelle Obama on her book tour in London after we secured tickets with our Speakers 4 Schools contact. The activity week we did last July was brilliant giving students a week of fun, interesting and inspiring activities which included a cultural trip to Nottingham, yoga, healthy relationship workshops and mock job interviews. Results day is a brilliant day where we see students who have worked so hard move on to exciting degrees and jobs.
Hobbies: I love tap dancing, yoga and anything to do with psychology. |I also love going to the cinema but would never watch a horror!
Obstacles I have overcome: I never thought I could run but I started running (well jogging) a few years ago and I really enjoy the time outdoors.
Favourite Music: My first concert I ever went to was Wham! and my last concert was UB40 so you could say I have an eclectic taste!
Favourite Movies: Dirty Dancing, Forest Gump and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
