Background
The Sixth Form college offers a variety of study courses to around 1,000 mostly 16- to 19-year-olds. Courses range from level 2 (GCSE) to level 3 (Advanced Level and BTEC). A 2001 Ofsted inspection described the college as "a particularly successful college", being rated 23rd in a list of the United Kingdom's most successful colleges in that year.
An Ofsted inspection from 2011 said the college was a "good college" and it "displays elements that are outstanding, but also some satisfactory aspects."
The college has a Careers centre with staff to help students choose a career path to suit them.
Students take AS or A2 (A-Level) qualifications, as well as BTECs and GCSEs.
The college also has a Student Union which is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS).
In 2012 the college opened a new study space called "The Hub"; it was opened by former students, Howard Wilson and Toby Jepson.
The £3 million refit of the college, including the library facility, was fully completed in November 2012.
