Abby Wakefield - Drama Teacher Trainee
"Have fun, it's okay to get things wrong at times. Work hard and you will get where you want to be!"
Name: Abby Wakefield
When at CHS: 2011-2019
Current Role: Training to become a Secondary School Drama Teacher
What are your memories of CHS?
I really enjoyed school a lot, I had a lot of an amazing friends and the teachers were incredible. I remember performing in the school musical, 'Bugsy Malone,' and it was so fun and I still remember a lot of the dances now! I had lots of teachers that inspired me, from my Drama Teacher, Mrs Davis, to my form tutor, Mrs Wise, and my head of year, Mr Franklin, among so many others!
I stayed on in Sixth Form for 3 years and studied Media Studies, English Language and Psychology A-Levels, Performing Arts BTEC Level 3 and Politics AS Level.
Route after CHS:
After leaving CHS, I went on to study Theatre at the University of Chichester. I had always wanted to perform but from being very young I'd always aspired to be a Drama Teacher. After I finished university and got my degree, I started to train to teach and I am currently in my training year as a secondary Drama Teacher. I am a third of the way through my training, so hopefully I will be a qualified secondary Drama Teacher in July and start a full-time teaching position in September.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Have fun, it's okay to get things wrong at times. Work hard and you will get where you want to be!
