Have you considered Health and Social Care, but thought it might be a course or career path aimed more at one gender? Think again. 💙

Our students are helping to break stereotypes and show that health, care and support careers are for everyone. Want to find out where Health and Social Care could take you?

Visit us at our Open Day on Saturday 17 October and speak to our team about the course, progression routes and future careers.

A different view of college life 📸

Today we’re shining a spotlight on our A Level photography students, capturing the people, places and moments that make JCC what it is.

It’s great to see students developing their creativity, confidence and technical skills while telling stories through their own lens.

The Law Society, JCC Griffins attended their residential summer school Griffin Access Programme this summer holidays. They were invited down to Gray's Inn of Court in London where they used their year of preparation to take part impressively in a mock trial. They enjoyed an action packed two days consisting of the trial and a canape reception where they had the opportunity to network with practicing barristers and judges who praised their preparation, confidence and skill. This is an unprecedented opportunity to attend a members only institute and gain valuable contracts.

The following day they attended Parliament as the special guest of Travis D.Frain OBE DL of 'Reslience in Unity' to observe democracy in action.

Associate Assistant Principal for Wider Learning, Sarah Harwood and Head of Law, Bradley Joynes were incredibly proud and impressed by how much of a credit they were to Joseph Chamberlain' 👏⚖️
