Academic Performance
The college was one of the smallest colleges in the UK, and recently it finished third in the achievement tables of colleges in the north east of England. Many hardworking staff and students contributed to this achievement, and Dr. Richard Spencer MBE has been recognised for his efforts on several occasions, most recently by the "Award for Best Interdisciplinary Teaching" at the European Education Festival “Science on Stage” in Berlin. He was awarded the honour of an MBE in the 2010 New Years Honours List for Science Communication. Geology teacher Dr. Ed Anderson has also received recognition in National Teaching Awards, and has also appeared in the local paper after his seismograph recorded the size of 2008's earthquake in Britain. Senior tutor, Janice Ronsano, has recently been short listed for a Star award for her outstanding pastoral and teaching work with students and staff.
