Teacher stars in Barrow Rising campaign

An assistant headteacher from Ormsgill School is starring in a new campaign to help inspire the next generation of Barrovians.

Jess Corless was invited to take part in the Barrow Rising project after her class was involved in an event with Furness Education and Skills Partnership and her passion for supporting children’s futures was spotted.

Jess said a filming company from Preston got in touch with her to feature in the Barrow Rising launch video and website.

“A full camera crew and producer came to school, set up their professional equipment and asked me to listen to an audio clip and naturally respond to what I heard. They asked me a couple of questions and that was that! It was very surreal

I’ve never been part of something like that before but the audio and aims of the project are very inspirational and exciting, and will hopefully have a positive impact on Barrow and our pupils as they grow older and go into the wider world.
