It has also been said that the college would be ranked as 'Outstanding' overall if not for the wide intake of students from all backgrounds and ability. The college is non-selective and also has the best results in the country for vocational courses, which can be taken at foundation, intermediate, or higher levels.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
