Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

At times, the management team and staff do not monitor and assess children's progress as closely as possible, which means that any interventions that may be needed are not identified and actioned in a timely manner.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy developing their physical skills through their play, stretching, climbing and sliding on the pirate ship climbing frame or splashing in puddles. They learn to control their body movements, running, taking giant leaps, walking backwards or on tip toe. Staff have replaced outdoor play equipment with a sturdier climbing frame and slide to help keep children safe. Children develop coordination skills by pouring water along guttering outdoors.

Can't review the college, but the sports facilities are great. Well used and in great spec/order for Netball and Football. Always lots of action on the various sites on the weekend, good place for kids to take part and see others enjoying sports.

I was enrolled here for 2 years and was majorly struggling mentally which was very obvious to the teachers and college staff. Although I really wanted to complete my course and was still doing work they asked for, being in college physically was very hard for me. They did not try to sort out a plan or help me get around this and instead kicked me out after 2 years therefore wasting my funding, if I was to go back to college I’d have to pay out of my own pocket. They were very aware of my problems but did not attempt to do anything about it. for your own good, DO NOT ENROLL HERE.

I studied here for two years completing an adult foundation degree course in history heritage and archaeology. I found the staff and lecturers to be friendly, welcoming and supportive. Despite covid and lockdowns I felt supported and staff made every effort to make the course as interesting and enriched as possible. Would definitely recommend this course and this college.
