After completing her studies at Frederick Gough School, Katie chose to continue her education at North Lindsey College, drawn by the wide range of courses and valuable work experience opportunities available.
She enrolled in the Foundation T Level in Education and Childcare, gaining hands-on experience at Little Goslings Day Nursery. Her dedication and enthusiasm led to an 18-month apprenticeship offer from the nursery.
