Funding and Governance
BHASVIC and other Sixth Form Colleges in England were transferred under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 out of local government control and established as independent FE Corporations. On 1 April 2010, under the Apprentices, Schools, Children and Learning Act 2009, the College was designated as a Sixth Form College. The Secretary of State for Education has proposed further changes to the College regulatory regime in the Education Bill published in January 2011. Over 90% of the College's funds come from the Young People's Learning Agency (YPLA). Corporation Members (governors) are individuals from business, the local community, staff, students, and parents. The Principal of the College is an ex-officio Member of the Corporation.
The current Principal is Christopher Thomson MA. The current Vice-Principal is Anne Fielding Smith and the two Assistant Principals are Sally Bromley (curriculum) and Jutta Knapp (finance). The current chair of governors is Peter Freeman.
