College
The college offers further education to approximately 19,000 students in full and part-time education including courses for 14 - 16 year olds in collaboration with local schools. The programmes include the majority of GCSE and A Level courses, access to higher education, and vocational apprenticeships that include bricklaying, plumbing, carpentry, gas fitting, painting and decorating, construction management, driving passenger vehicles, forklift truck driving and railway engineering. A variety of community and adult courses is also provided across the local area. The college is a Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) status for engineering specialised in construction, logistics and care. A 2008 Ofsted report accorded the school a Grade 1 (outstanding) on all inspection points. But a 2012 inspection the college lowered the rating from Outstanding to good overall with some inadequate and satisfactory areas.
