A high proportion of our students win places at university every year with a substantial number progressing to prestigious Russell and 1994 group universities.Our College is small enough to be friendly, compact and easily manageable yet large enough to have all the facilities of a thriving, modern-day College. Our fantastic new Academy building houses many of the lessons attended by Post-16 students and the superb new facilities for sport, music and drama are all enriching our students' experience.We provide a high level of support and guidance to our students throughout their time in the College and offer a wide range of enrichment and leadership opportunities to enhance students' life skills.
