From Billingham to Big Brands: Chloe’s Inspiring Career Journey After Leaving St Michael’s Catholic Academy
At St Michael’s Catholic Academy in Billingham, we love celebrating the achievements of our former students - and Chloe’s story is a brilliant example of where curiosity, hard work, and an open mind can lead. Chloe left St Michael’s in 2015 and began her next chapter at Bede College, choosing A-levels in Maths, Biology, Business Studies, and an AS in Chemistry. Like many students, she originally thought she knew the career path she wanted - nursing. But college opened new doors, and discovering Business Studies sparked a passion she had never expected.
