A message from the principal David Vasse
With rising competition for university and employment places, it’s never been more important than it is today for students to succeed in post-16 education.
With specialist post-16 teachers and a supportive environment that focuses exclusively on the 16 to 18 age group, we think we’re pretty remarkable.
Our commitment to our students extends well beyond the classroom and is tailored around each person; whether that means extra academic coaching,
specialist careers advice or opportunities to take part in some unique (some say legendary!) clubs and societies. It all adds up to a great leap forward from
school, into a college that will take you to new heights.
I look forward to meeting you here in 2013.
