Discover What Success Means at Cambian Wing College
Cassandra Pollitt reflects on how she defines and measures success, sharing her perspective on what success truly looks like. She illustrates this with the inspiring story of Connor Holloway, a former student of Cambian Wing College. Connor excelled academically during his time at the college and now contributes as the College Grounds Person, skillfully managing and maintaining the college gardens and outdoor spaces with his practical expertise and environmental knowledge.
"I am writing to thank you all very much for your help, support and professional expertise that I has benefited from over the last three years.
He arrived in August 2021 extremely unwell and with very little ability to manage the ups and downs of his teenage life. He has left Cambian Wing and Southwood Avenue this summer with the all-essential English and Maths GCSEs (thank you to Beth for organising it so SWA could be his exam centre - this made a huge difference), a distinction star in Level 2 Media and, most importantly of all, a renewed self esteem and plans for his future.
He's also quite literally doubled in size since arriving with you! Along the way he rowed in Christchurch, spent 4 years in National Orchestra for All, joined a Jiu jitsu club, had a few recent good nights out in Bournemouth and learnt greater skills for independence than most peers his own age - independent shopping, cooking, travel and laundry now come easily to him.
We are sorry that, over this last year, part of I's progress towards leaving Cambian meant he was not able to fully appreciate or engage with all that you have on offer. I, as you know, is always very black and white about these things. But I am sure he won't mind me passing on that he misses his life in Bournemouth and many of the people he met along the way.
Life will not be straightforward for I, and he has lots of hard work ahead to maintain what the Cambian/ SWA team started. You know better than others how much effort he requires to achieve what many of us take for granted. But he has done really well in this first couple of weeks here in Oxford - college has started, he has found a gym and a martial arts club, and has had his first job interview. Plus he took me out for lunch on my birthday yesterday. I think he is finding each day a little bit more manageable.
There are a few treats arriving at SWA from Waitrose tomorrow (Wednesday) to be shared out amongst the staff as a tiny token of our appreciation - we thought we'd better wait until the term-time staff were all safely back at work! Hopefully Beth or Tim will be around to distribute as there was no way of writing a note with the delivery.
I hope the back-to-college phase has gone smoothly and your new residents are settling in well. Good luck to everyone for the future."
