We are a ‘successful modern learning community’, providing outstanding education to around 2,000, 16-19 year old students. The College enjoys an excellent reputation both locally and nationally. Students make excellent progress and achieve outstanding results whilst at College but also feel prepared for their future and are more likely to gain a better class degree than those from other educational sectors and sixth form colleges.

Facilities
Our campus is now second-to-none in offering modern, attractive, stimulating spaces in which to work and learn.

We have invested substantially in developing high quality IT and award winning online infrastructure, which means that student learning is supported by the best that technology can offer.
CPD
