Summer 2011 results
Outstanding Results - One of the most successful colleges in the country
In 2011 we once again achieved excellent results and maintained our position as one of the best colleges in the country.
Students have excelled in all areas of study, arming themselves with the qualifications and skills they need to progress
on to university, employment or further training.
Beacon status
Our success follows on from being awarded the prestigious Beacon status by the Learning and Skills Council.
This is the highest honour that any college can achieve, highlighting excellence and innovation and celebrating exceptional
teaching and learning at the college. After rigorous inspection, Ofsted praised the college in a series of "outstanding"
areas. Being awarded Beacon status allows us to continue in the same trend, raising aspirations and creating opportunities
for students in a "top performing" college.
