Over recent months, the College has worked hard to implement a range of strict health and safety measures which has provided students with the chance to return to College and receive face-to-face teaching, as well as the opportunity to sit these crucial exams. This, along with the fantastic efforts of the students and support from their parents and carers, has meant they could go on to secure life-changing qualifications which will go a long way in supporting future career progression.
Victoria Fell, Assistant Director of Personal Development said, “We are extremely proud of all of our students and staff for these excellent results. These are difficult times and to be able to share this wonderful news, which will have such a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of people, is incredible.”

However, thanks to the amazing support of my tutor, I have been able to secure this qualification, which is a real milestone in my life. I feel so proud.”
