College Life
College is very different to school and can give you a fresh start with a range of vocational courses at various levels

You are treated like an adult, helping you to grow in confidence and develop new skills. In addition to your course you can be involved in lots of fun activities for example our Travel and Tourism students put on fancy dress to raise money for Children in Need and their residential trip. Various trips are organised. Last year our Sport and Travel  and Tourism students went to Lanzarote. You might want to join one of our clubs - perhaps computer gaming or music. You could also help out and volunteer, take part in a show, or represent your course at our Student Council.
