We are recognised for our innovation and best practice that actively encourages every learner through our deeply inclusive approach, to study in an environment where you are supported to be the very best you can be.
We understand that moving from a smaller school to a larger college might feel a little daunting, but rest assured, we’ll be with you every step of the way. We take immense pride not only in our high-quality classroom teaching and dedicated in-class support but also in the exceptional pastoral care provided by your personal Progress Coach, ensuring you thrive throughout your programme.
Beyond the classroom, we’ve significantly expanded our wrap-around support to help you achieve your goals. This includes tailored support for your individual needs from our dedicated health and wellbeing team and resilience coaches. Embracing positive behaviours, inclusivity, and mutual respect are fundamental to our college community, and we actively promote these values in everything we do. You’ll also have access to a wide array of free sports and wellbeing activities through our Active Cambria programme, as well as numerous opportunities to participate in diverse clubs and have your voice heard through Student Voice initiatives.
To help you start each day strong and stay focused, all our students can enjoy a free breakfast from our main college canteens across all sites!
Our ultimate aim is to equip you with the essential skills and qualifications that will prepare you for a successful future after college, whether your aspirations lie in university studies, apprenticeships, or launching a fulfilling career. We are here to support you in building not only your academic achievements but also the positive behaviours and respect that will serve you well in all aspects of life.
