The former nanny and nursery nurse is now aiming to work in a school. “I just wanted to achieve something and I’m a resilient person,” said Ms Hindle. “I find it hard to quit so I just kept going. “This is part of a journey to working at a primary school as a teaching assistant or a learning support officer. “I was very happy and shocked to pass.” West Suffolk College is part of Eastern Education Group.
