Life Your Best Life: ‘I’m a different person since coming to The Academy Grimsby!’

Samantha Dent struggled with significant health problems when she first started at The Academy Grimsby. She may have been in a wheelchair but that didn’t stop her achieving her best.

 As a budding artist, Samantha is incredibly proud to have achieved an eight in her Art GCSE and even saw her work exhibited in the Japanese Embassy in London last year.

 “I came to The Academy Grimsby because I wanted more freedom and more support. And that’s exactly what I got.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a pencil in my hand and loved drawing. I’ve always known that it’s what I wanted to do as a career. So I came to The Academy Grimsby to give me a chance to be more creative. I’ve had an amazing Art teacher during my time here. She’s always been lovely to me and helped me a lot.

“I’m really proud to have achieved an eight in Art. I was worried about my other grades – but I’ve done better than I thought, so I’m now moving on to study for a Level 3 in Art and Design. Then, I’d like to go on to do an apprenticeship.

“I’m a different person since coming to The Academy Grimsby. I got the help I needed here and now I’m excited for the future.”
