Staff member Anita Parbery wins an Assessors Award

A member of staff, who has worked at Cambridge Regional College for 10 years, has been named assessor of the year by colleagues.

Anita Parbery, who supports her students through their Management and Team Leading Apprenticeships including English, Maths and ICT qualifications, was presented with her award by Deputy Principal, Michelle Dowse, as a thank you for her hard work.

Additionally Anita supports groups of learners in the workplace with their English, Maths and ICT qualifications in support of other Assessors across the whole college.

Anita said: “I’m really delighted to be recognized by my colleagues at CRC.

“I have enthusiasm and patience for teaching those who need extra support and find my role really rewarding.

“My results are very good and I think this is because I, like everyone at CRC, develop a good rapport with students and really want to see them achieve.”

Michelle said: “Anita has done an amazing job supporting learners to obtain essential qualifications.

“There were a lot of entries for this award which is staff-nominated and staff-voted, so it is a great honour for Anita to win.

“We are thrilled for her and very proud of all the brilliant things Anita does to ensure our students have the best experience and opportunities.

“The great results achieved by the 500 plus learners Anita has supported in the last 10 years, is a testament to her skills and professionalism.”

Anita is really dedicated to her profession – she even sat the functional skills exams herself so she knew exactly what her students would experience and could use this experience to help her students pass!
