Allison is responsible for the College Registry, admissions and student records. She is also the primary contact for those seeking assistance with Disabled Students Allowance (DSA). She spends the majority of her time compiling data returns for external stakeholders, such as the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and the Office for Students (OfS), working closely with the admin staff on many areas of student data, and assisting students to gain diagnosis and learning support where needed. She joined the College in 2012, following a background in FE and HE development and delivery. She has an unused (!) degree in Modern Languages (French and Russian) and a postgraduate qualification in HE Education Leadership and Management.
Allison and her husband John have three teenage-plus daughters, whose various neurodiverse conditions ignited her with her passion for helping Cliff students to overcome any similar barriers they may face. She loves to swim, has a small obsession with correct punctuation, and her dog loves her husband more than her and this is fine.
