Anne Blowers, 74, displays her certificate after passing her GCSE English language exam at Suffolk New College
Anne Blowers, of Nacton near Ipswich, Suffolk worked in the family business – a lorry park restaurant and bar – before it was sold in 2016 and she retired in 2018.She got a job as a learning support practitioner at Suffolk New College in Ipswich, and decided to refresh her qualifications, having sat her O-levels in 1965.
“After being locked down and in the house on my own I really needed to get back to work,” said Mrs Blowers, who was widowed in 2014.“When we had the lorry park I employed a lot of young people and it was great to see them blossom and move on to other things.” “I was the oldest person in the college to get my English, but not the oldest one in the country, I understand.“Every day’s a school day and we’re always learning.”
