Yeovil College

A very warm welcome to Yeovil College and thank you for taking the time to find out more about our extraordinary College. Deciding upon your next destination is both an exciting and important decision as it should provide the springboard for your future career, and I hope you will decide that our wonderful College can help you to achieve your ambitions.

I believe that every student at Yeovil College has the potential to be extraordinary; to be more than they thought possible; to achieve more than they dared to dream; to achieve higher, bigger and better.

A Vibrant Community

As a College community, we believe that success breeds success; we will generate a more positive future for our students, our businesses and our communities. We are ambitious for our learners, and we work exceptionally hard to provide them with the best environments, resources, facilities, technology, teachers and future opportunities.

Our campus is an open, safe, welcoming and extremely encouraging space. We provide learners with the encouragement and confidence to develop and succeed at a pace which is appropriate to each individual. We are a vibrant College community where our number one priority is to create life-changing opportunities for each and every one of our learners, providing them with the right skills, knowledge and behaviours to support them during their career journeys. You will discover that Yeovil College is a positive, aspirational and inclusive place to learn and grow, making it a brilliant next step for all students.

Unrivalled Investment

You will see that your new learning environments are very different to those that you have enjoyed at school, you will also see the campus change over the next two to three years (progressed and completed in a thoughtful way), which is transforming your learning spaces and your experience. In addition to the recent £25 million spent on campus redesign, there is an additional £60+ million of investment to build the best college within our community. If we want to provide our learners with the opportunity to live extraordinary lives, to build extraordinary careers and to contribute in an extraordinary way in this community, then it is our job to provide the extraordinary foundations. Within a few short years, we will have a campus that rivals every other college in the UK.

Once here, you will have the opportunity to progress with us, whether that is onto an apprenticeship, to our university centre or to enhance your skills with a further programme of study. Whether your career commences in six months or six years from your starting point with us, we believe we should provide you with a clear line of sight to your career and accelerate you towards it.

The breadth of the offer and the involvement of employers and inspirational contributors will extend your learning and experiences far beyond the subject you have chosen to study and will open doors to new opportunities.

This is an exciting time to be a student looking at their future and I look forward to helping you make the right decision to support a positive career.
