Character Profiles

Educating Essex

Thursday 22 September 2011

'I can follow the rules, but I always like to change them a bit...'

Tina: 'The kids sort of seem to get on with me, you actually feel like you're making a difference with them.'

Stan: 'I was offered the job, stepped in the door and it's just been a roller coaster since then.'

An ex-army officer and a prop on the local ladies' rugby team seem an unlikely combination for the school's student support team, but Tina and Stan are a soft touch really and play a truly invaluable role in helping vulnerable students with their academic and extra-curricular problems.

With an unlimited supply of understanding, and biscuits, they are instrumental in making sure even the most challenging students finish their coursework and sit their exams.
