Jim Fleming
College Character Lead
As a character lead, I support both students and staff alike. I aim to develop the whole child through a range of coordinated personal and character activities and opportunities, within a supportive environment using continual positive regard.
This year is my 13th year teaching, specialising in PE. I have been lucky enough to have held various roles in different schools around the country. I have worked in London for 6 years as a Head of Year and Bradford and Keighley for 6 years as Subject lead, EPQ coordinator and Duke of Edinburgh lead. I have been a level 3 subject lead throughout my career. I joined Mirfield College as working with College students has always been an ambition of mine.

Safeguarding officer and Year Lead
I joined Mirfield College in September 2023 as Safeguarding Officer and Year Lead and have really enjoyed being part of the college team. I work alongside my colleagues to support our students along their sixth form journey, prioritising their wellbeing and welfare.
