Choosing us is a big decision. One of the big questions you have to answer is ‘Do I stay on at sixth form or go to college?’ and ‘Is college really different from school?’
We are different in many ways:
-
We are diverse
You will meet people at college from a wide variety of backgrounds, just like in the workplace. -
We teach life skills
We will help you prepare for real life by teaching you new skills that will come in handy whether you are planning to go to university or straight into employment. -
You will have more independence
At 6th form, your teachers will chase you to complete your work, but we won’t quite so much! -
It will be up to you to keep up-to-date
The more you put into your work, the more you get out. You are expected to meet deadlines and work hard, just like any future employer would expect, bridging the gap between school and university or a career. -
You’ll be treated like an adult
Colleges are generally much more informal than schools. There are fewer rules to follow, and you are treated like an adult. -
Social activities
On campus, you can participate in a range of sports and leisure activities, including clubs, activities, and trips. You may also have access to a free gym. -
Career-ready courses
We offer more vocational study options taught in industry-standard workshops, salons, restaurants, and IT suits. Choosing a vocational course will give you the skills to move directly into employment. -
Excellent facilities
We have state-of-the-art facilities, for example, if you are studying hairdressing you will learn in a real working salon and even have clients and in hospitality you work in a real student-led restaurant.
We strive to be the best that we can be. To find out more, visit the Government's compare the performance of schools and colleges website
