Baiyewu, who leads areas including science, engineering, counselling, psychology, health and social care, early years, English, maths and ESOL, described her career as a "life of lifelong learning." Originally from Nigeria, she holds a degree in English from the University of Lagos and studied Fashion PR at the London College of Fashion before working in fashion, training in counselling, and moving into education.
She believes education offers opportunities for people seeking new directions, stating, "You can always pivot." The college supports both young people and adults, with programmes for 16 to 18-year-olds and new offerings like a Level 2 Engineering programme and an Early Years T Level.
“"I feel like I’m somebody with many careers."
Baiyewu highlighted the college's strong connection to its local community, describing it as "a family, it’s a community-based learning institution." She finds it rewarding to witness learners grow in confidence, noting the transformation from shy individuals to more assured students by the end of the year.
Morley North Kensington College encourages learners of all ages to develop new skills, build confidence, and take their next steps, fostering a supportive environment where "We kind of uplift each other."
