After feeling lost and uncertain about her future, Poppy found a new sense of confidence, resilience and direction through the 12-week King’s Trust programme at City College Plymouth.

Since joining the programme, Poppy has developed her communication and teamwork skills, built her confidence, and secured a role with Taproom Plymouth.

Reflecting on her journey, Poppy said: “I was in a really dark place, and now I actually see the light. I can see a future.”

Participants on our King’s Trust programme get to:
- be part of a team
- take part in an action-packed residential trip over four days and three nights
- take on their own group community project, making a positive difference to the place where they live
- undertake two weeks’ work experience in something they’re interested in
- develop their English and maths skills
- complete the King’s Trust Certificate in Personal Development and Employability Skills.

Our next King’s Trust programme is recruiting now, and starts on 12 October. Find out more here: https://cityplym.info/kingstrust

Throwback to this time last week, where we had a fantastic time at the LifeIn AI event in Market Hall.

The event was packed with talks, workshops, live demos, robotics, and lots of other opportunities to get to grips with the world of AI, and we were delighted to bring some unique experiences designed by the College to the proceedings.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat to us about what we offer at City College Plymouth, and everyone who participated in our ‘Stock Market Attack Simulation Area’ and ‘Master the Grid: Cyber Security’ experiences.

As a Core Partner for the second year running, along with fellow partners Babcock International Group, the University of Plymouth and TECHOSAURUS®, we were blown away by the level of innovation, creative thinking and sheer ingenuity on display - much of which is evidenced in our video!

We're already looking forward to next year's event!

This October, we’re here to make the next steps after Year 11 easier.

Our sessions give your teen the chance to explore different subjects with hands-on experience, offering a clear insight into what we provide at City College and what they can expect if they join us next September.

We understand the next steps after Year 11 can be challenging, but we’re here to make those decisions much simpler!

It’s their world - help them build it with City College Plymouth. You can see our range of subjects and sign up for the Taster Sessions here: https://cityplym.info/tasters2026

As part of National Manufacturing Day, last week our T Level Engineering students headed to Tamar Bridge to get a closer look at the engineering behind one of Plymouth’s most recognisable landmarks.

During the visit, students explored the history of the bridge and why it was built, including its impact on the local economy then and now. They also learned about how a suspension bridge works, and were able to explore the methodology behind its expansion joints and the numerous engineering principles that keep it standing proud over the river!

Our students also had the opportunity to venture onto the gantry beneath the main road, allowing them to enjoy extensive views of the Tamar, before heading into the anchorage chamber to see where the bridge is secured.

It was a great opportunity for our students to get out of the classroom and see large scale engineering in action.

Many thanks to everyone involved in the visit, and special thanks to Jane Cooper, Bridging the Tamar, and Tamar Crossings!

What does it take to bring a story to life?

Step into the world of theatre with our Level 3 Performing Arts (Creative Theatre Practice) course at City College Plymouth.

Designed and taught by theatre professionals, this practical course will develop your skills as a performer while giving you experience of the wider process of creating theatre. From acting, voice and movement to improvisation, devising, scriptwriting and performance, you’ll put your skills into practice with workshops and public performances.

You’ll have the option to complete the course after one year with a subsidiary diploma, or continue for two years to achieve an extended diploma, equivalent to three A Levels.

Whether you’re looking to progress to university, performance school or a career in the performing arts, this could be your essential step towards a future in the arts.
