Each year thousands of young people join us after leaving Year 11 to study A Levels, a career-focused course or an apprenticeship.

Here are just a few reasons why…

Our students have an excellent track record for progressing onto further learning or employment after leaving their course. More than 1,000 going on to university study in the last two years and thousands more onto apprenticeships and employment.
We have brilliant teachers with a wealth of expertise and experience, bringing knowledge that provides students with more than just a qualification. They’re also friendly, welcoming and award-winning! And exciting opportunities to develop a passion or talent alongside your course – from our renowned Sports Academies to Performing Arts.

We have amazing facilities to learn in — from science labs to film studios, top class restaurants, salons and spas, and industry standard specialist centres for a range of areas.

And our Support for Students has been recognised as the best in the UK! With our teams of specialist support staff working with teachers across the College to offer a wraparound approach to each student including learning support, wellbeing, financial support and more, throughout your time at college.
