At Thrybergh Academy, we’re extremely proud of all of our students, past and present, and we love hearing all about our Alumni aspirations and destinations.

Our Alumni Network helps us to inspire the next generation of citizens, workers, and entrepreneurs by sharing apsirational successes so that our young people can leave school and Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT) able and qualified to play their full part in an ever-changing world.

Below, you can see just a selection of our wonderful Alumni Network, what they went on to achieve after secondary education, and their words of wisdom for our students.

Here are some of the current Thrybergh Academy alumni:

After her children had grown, she turned her attention to community work. Jodie has been involved in various initiatives, from supporting the homeless to promoting water safety awareness through Sam’s Army’s Mission 1 Life in schools and colleges. Alongside this, she has also organised several support groups for SEN parents.

In 2024, she was asked to stand as a local councillor for Dalton, Thrybergh, and East Herringthorpe, and was elected on May 3rd. Now, as a local councillor, she strives to serve her local community, while continuing her work with Sam’s Army and supporting SEN families.

Due to the vast options available, she didn’t really know what she wanted to do after sixth form, but knew that she enjoyed the crime and governance module in Sociology. 

Because of this, she went on to study Criminology at Leeds Beckett University with STILL no idea what she wanted to do after education, but continued down the crime route. After uni, Tamisha moved back to Rotherham and worked at Lidl for a year before deciding to look at crime prevention jobs in South Yorkshire, Leeds and Manchester, where was successful in landing a job with the Police Force. 

When the Covid pandemic hit, things changed and Tamisha was seconded to the Covid Track and Trace team for the Police. Once this ended she decided on a change so found a job as an Offender Manager for the Offender Management Unit – the role she has been doing for over two years now!

In her day-to-day role, Tamisha gets to go on arrests and warrants, manages offenders living in the community, risk assesses them, works with partner agencies and does lots of the admin side of things.
