I’m a supervisor, cleaning at a school. I do Maths and English and Food Hygiene and Safety courses at school. Maths and English is just level 1, beginners, because I never did any at school. I’m re-doing them because I never did any exams or anything.

We moved around a lot, I’ve got a big family. I was never really at a school long enough. So by the time it came to doing exams and stuff I hadn’t really done any revision or stuff to really pass anything. So I never did any. I got a job when I was 16 and I’ve been working until I had my oldest baby. Then I’ve been cleaning at a school, but I want to do teaching with children in the end so that’s why I’m doing all my courses and stuff now to brush myself up to get better so I can work with children in the end.
