POV: You get this view of the Red Arrows from your classroom 🤩

We might be biased, but as far as classroom views go, we think this has to be one of the best in Jersey, especially on Battle of Britain day (aka the Jersey Air Display)! 👏

“The environment at Highlands College is built for students, you’re able to have your own independence while having the support available when you need it.”

We spoke to Charlie Sutcliffe, Lloyds Bank Financial Services Professional apprentice and Highlands College Alumnus about how he has been transforming his future in finance through technology and sustainability initiatives.👨‍💻🏦

In just two years since completing his Level 3 qualification in Business Studies, Charlie has provided Lloyds with a fresh perspective, and helping influence how the organisation responds to environmental and social challenges on his rotations in the customer-facing and digital teams.

He has since begun a coveted Level 6 apprenticeship, gaining hands-on experience across different areas of the banking sector while studying towards the Associate Chartered Banker Diploma with the Chartered Banker Institute.

Read Charlie's full story, including how his attitude allowed him to take control of his career journey, on our website.

Introducing.... drum role please.... 🥁 Our new car park barrier system!

Over the summer we've upgraded our car parks with an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system.

This is to improve security and make access to the car parks smoother for those with permission to park onsite.

There are a few changes, and we hope we have answered all your questions here 👇 If not, please drop us a question in the comments.

Welcome back to Highlands! 👋

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another year, it’s completely normal to get a little lost during your first week. Our campus has several buildings, and even our staff sometimes take a wrong turn! 🤭

Give yourself a little extra time, check your room numbers and don’t be afraid to ask someone for directions. You can also explore the campus before you arrive with our virtual tour:
