What an amazing three days! Today we wrapped up our A Level Summer School. It was a chance for prospective students to explore our new A Level courses, which launch this September. The groups worked hard, delivered some strong presentations, and even took home a few awards. Thanks to everyone who took part, we really enjoyed having you with us. If you missed out, don’t worry - you can still reach out to us with questions about our courses, and there’s still time to submit an application.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our learners who have achieved their Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award.
This milestone marks the culmination of their inspiring journey from Silver to Gold, which included challenging expeditions through the rugged peaks of Snowdonia and the Lake District.
Throughout the programme, our learners demonstrated remarkable determination and a strong sense of community. They generously volunteered their time to support local and national causes, contributed to charitable initiatives, and took part in events such as the local 5K in aid of Richard House Children's Hospice.
Their success is a true testament to the value of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Many of our participants have already secured positions in emergency services apprenticeships and gained places at higher education institutions.
We commend their dedication and are extremely proud of all they have achieved.
Last night’s fashion event, ‘THE SHOW’ was truly unforgettable. A dazzling celebration of creativity and talent. Our Fashion, Hairdressing and Beauty students presented show-stopping designs that showcased the incredible dedication and hard work they have poured in throughout the academic year.
Performances by X7eaven Productions split up the catwalk in a collaboration that saw fashion students design outfits worn by the dancers.
This high-energy and inspiring event was held in the brand-new refurbished area of the College, a vibrant space that perfectly complements their innovative artistry. Congratulations to all the students and staff involved for making this night a remarkable success.
