Over the last few years the college has enjoyed a great period of success with our students putting their skills to the test against the very best in the country.

We have achieved outstanding results including gold medals at UK Skills Competitions, awards for our work in the community and Adult Education, and great success for our Higher Education students.

We look forward to seeing you this academic year and working with you to ensure that you reach the peak of your ability.

Good luck!
