The teaching has been really good, I’ve loved all of my teachers, they’ve all been really nice and supportive.
Jodie Hook

Everyone at the College was really helpful, and there’s lots of facilities, meaning it’s very easy to get your work done on time, and get good grades. The teaching and support was excellent, they were always on top of it, and made sure you got work done on time and you were challenged. Everyone is friendly and its really diverse, meaning you can get involved in lots of different things.
Conor Ward, BTEC student

This is a really good college, and it is definitely somewhere you can achieve your dreams.
