Inclusion & environment
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, staff identified that some children were struggling to socialise and play with their peers. They immediately put plans in place to support them, providing lots of small-group activities where children could practise their social skills without feeling overwhelmed.
Children learn about understanding the world by looking after and growing a range of plants in the outside area, including fruit and vegetables. Afterwards, they harvest the produce and enjoy eating it.
The majority of children who attend the nursery are beginning to speak English as an additional language. Staff learn words in home languages and provide dual-language books to help children make connections and improve their understanding of spoken English.
My daughter was treated like she was inadequate to pursue her education because she had her twins at 16 and is now 17 wanting to also better her education to become a successful business owner , the business teachers & IT teachers made every excuse to why she may not be accepted whilst enrolling however everyone else got enrolled that same day and my daughter was told to return Monday . I used to attend City 2002-2003 it was a good college in North London clearly now I can see from the comments it has changed dramatically. The support system from staff has decreased and it’s very disappointing to hear , luckily my daughter was told by a safe guarding staff that what she was told is a lie there are plenty of spaces left . For this reason I will be writing a official complaint to the head of office, local mp, ombudsman and educational welfare regarding the judgemental staff that treat vulnerable students as such , they didn’t even get to understand my daughters background just judged her as some delinquent however anything could’ve happened that they are unaware off absolutely disgusting behaviour from professionals if that’s what you call them kmt . I will be complaining , my daughter is saying she doesn’t want to even bother now maybe college isn’t for her , how can a young girl leave home excited to better herself come back home feeling depleted , disregarded and unwanted. I am mortified by this and for this reason if my daughter returns Monday I will be attending with her to give these disgusting teachers a peace of my mind .
Read on GoogleUpdated review: The reason for the one star seeing as you asked is that my son was 'withdrawn' from your college and there has been absolutely no follow up or any support for him to find another placement even though this was promised by Karen Sudene. Obviously fake words and empty promises.
Read on GoogleI’m extremely disappointed with the way this college is managed. Students are often left without a teacher for weeks at a time, forcing them to rely entirely on themselves to figure things out. This lack of structure and support creates unnecessary stress and undermines the quality of education. A college should be a place where students receive proper guidance and resources to succeed. Unfortunately, this institution seems to prioritize convenience over the actual needs of its students. The administration’s failure to address these issues raises serious concerns about their commitment to education. I hope the college takes immediate action to improve teacher availability and student support. Until then, I cannot recommend this institution to anyone who values reliable and effective education
Read on GoogleGets the job done, If you can attend lessons and actually do the work then bobs your uncle. Was skeptical before joining myself but realistically they are open because they produce real Btec results so you can expect a good education.
Read on GoogleIt is the worse college ever. I attended there in the year 2008/2009. It is one of my biggest regret which still haunts me till date. Am so glad i left after a year there. Most of the students had no respect and no morals. They acted like fake wannabes. They were bullies, arrogant and not willing to learn. The teachers were also very unhelpful. Not a fun college and don't take your kids there. There is this spirit of anxiety and depression dwelling in this college
