CHARLOTTE PEET Long Road Class of 2016 Senior Planning Officer

I attended Swavesey Village College before studying at Long Road; which I chose because I felt the friendly environment and supportive staff were a good fit for me

Long Road gave me the opportunity to develop my confidence and individuality, it was my first step into independence and adulthood I had to become responsible for my own learning and success with support from my teachers

I have since completed a Geography degree and a Masters in Town and Country Planning. I now work as a Senior Planning Officer for The Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service.
