“My name is Anna Kuchczynski. I attended Cartmel Priory School from 2006 to 2011 before completing my A Levels at Barrow Sixth Form, a Degree in Biomedical Science from Anglia Ruskin University, and further qualifications to become a Specialist Biomedical Scientist. I currently work as a Specialist Biomedical Scientist in Haematology and Blood Transfusion within the Pathology department at Furness General Hospital. I am also currently studying to complete a Master’s in Biomedical Science. I was encouraged, supported and challenged during my time at Cartmel; this was instrumental in the successes I have achieved since, and the work ethic I have developed.” My name is Joe Hambley and I am an Engineer for GSK. I attended Cartmel Priory School between 2007 and 2012. After school I completed an apprenticeship with GSK and after 4 years became a Mechanical Technician at the Barnard Castle factory. I am currently studying for my degree in Mechanical Engineering part time alongside my work. I am very proud to have been a Cartmel student and am grateful for the start the school gave me in helping me achieve success. “My name is Dr Josh Callon and I am a doctor at Chelsea and Westminster Emergency Department, an Army Reserve Medical Officer and a team doctor for Barrow Raiders Rugby Club. I attended Cartmel Priory School between 2007 and 2012 before completing my A Levels in Ulverston and then attending medical school. I am currently specialising in anaesthetics, critical care. My time at Cartmel helped to shape me academically and made me think that I could do anything if I put my mind to it.” Examples of past student success Students receive a structured programme of careers education and guidance.This includes individual advice and guidance, careers fairs, mock interviews, a careers activity day, a well-stocked careers library and a careers information board detailing FE and college open days.
