Adam Frost

Class of 2017

I left RCS in 2017, leaving with multiple A*s and my lowest grade being a single B. I chose to study my A-Levels at Thomas Rotherham College; choosing Law, Business, Economics and an EPQ. Here, my interest in Law really developed and I was accepted to study Law at The University of York. Finally, I will graduate in November from my BPC LLM, which I am a student at ULaw Nottingham, and as a prospective barrister be called to the bar the same month.

Bethany Butler

Class of 2014

After leaving RCS School in 2014, I wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to pursue, and that’s perfectly ok. I continued my education at Rawmarsh-Wickersley Sixth Form, choosing subjects I loved: English Language, Dance, and Psychology. I always had a passion for helping people, which guided my choices.

Jack Wrigley

Class of 2017

I left RCS and had a brilliant time at TRC in Rotherham playing Rugby and doing an extended diploma in sport until covid which ruined 2nd year. I passed with D*D*D and applied to 4 different universities as a sport science undergraduate, I got into all 4 but chose Northumbria University in Newcastle. It was amazing and I had the best time for a short 4 months until I realised I wanted to be a teacher/ coach and by then it was too late and I would either have to drop out and survive in Newcastle without any maintenance, whilst working minimum wage at O2  academy Newcastle and re-apply again in the next year or leave and come back to Rotherham so I chose Rotherham, I worked as a waiter for half a year where I did work experience during college and then found a job as a Metals Processor at ICD Europe Ltd down at tinsley/ magna where ive worked my way up to a Material/ Alloys Tester in 3 years and in those 3 years ive started to really enjoy chemistry and the industries associated with Reverting Alloys and wish I focused more in chemistry now. I have been renting for a year and live in rawmarsh me and my partner love it and love travelling, with this job I’ve been able to have the holiday freedom of travel multiple European cities aswell as multiple up and coming business trips to Asia, Australia and the US.

I will start mentoring a Lincoln University Undergraduate this term and I currently work as a paralegal at Ringrose Law Solicitors since the applications for barristers pupillages don’t open till later this year.

Following sixth form, I attended the University of Derby, where I studied Creative Expressive Therapies, specialising in Dance. This programme combines creative arts with therapeutic practices to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It involves using dance and other expressive arts to help individuals process emotions, cope with challenges, and improve their overall quality of life. My goal was to make a difference in people’s lives, and this course was the perfect fit.

I graduated with a First-Class Honours degree and pursued a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education). Graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic made job hunting challenging, but I secured a position at NovaCity Alternative Provision as a Youth Worker. Here, I conducted Creative Expressive Therapies (CET) workshops for students in Years 7 to 11 who weren’t suited to mainstream education.

Over time, I advanced to the role of Assistant Manager and, after three years, became one of the Provision Managers and the Curriculum Lead. In this capacity, I plan the curriculum based on the national standards, tailoring it to meet the needs of our students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, as well as Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). My dynamic position demands a blend of educational, therapeutic, and administrative skills to ensure the holistic development of each student. Additionally, I teach GCSE Sports Studies and lead CET workshops.

My journey reflects a commitment to helping others, continuous learning, and adapting to new challenges, which have all contributed to my current role.
