Cirencester College - Cirencester

I'm disgusted with the treatment of my daughter by this college. If your child has mental health issues I would avoid attending here. Cirencester College knew my daughter had bad mental health problems but she received no support and was kicked out due to poor attendance with no help or support offered. Thanks very much for your lack of empathy and understanding, in this day and age with all the attention brought to us about mental health I would have thought that this institution would be at the forefront of student welfare not just interested in the numbers coming through the doors. It will take a while for my daughter to bounce back from this. Angry is an understatement

Disappointing that they don’t handle mental health and take into consideration students struggles. As a result , I wasn’t provided the best conditions and priority for me and resulted in low A level grades. If your child is needed extra support , I advise not to come here.

The college is very good. Most of the teachers I had when I am in Level 2 transition (to successfully get my GCSE grades to the right level) were relatively helpful even during times when half of the class are filled with troublesome students.

Three stars because the food in the cafe is not that great owing to the options being quite limited.

I spent 3 years at this college, and it was the first time where I actually enjoyed being in an education setting. All of the staff were highly supportive and helpful. The quality of teaching was overall outstanding, obviously there are some issues within the college, but they are not significant issues and can be found in almost every college and school across the country.

The skills I learnt from this college have helped me progress onto university and given me a good start on my degree.

I had a great experience here at ciren: my A levels weren't only well taught but we were taught to study more independently which has served me fantastically throughout my undergrad. My application to medical school was well supported with practice interviews, UKCAT help and the wellbeing support- especially that from my tutor- was phenomenal in overcoming a lot of the difficulties I experienced. Fantastic College.

I can't rate this college highly enough. During my time here multiple staff members across several departments went above and beyond to support my education. Their enthusiasm and passion is second to none.

I really appreciated the college's focus on my future aspirations; my tutor and the tutoring programme were significant contributors towards me securing my place at vet school. Now as an undergraduate student, I can definitely say my time at Cirencester prepared me well for higher education.

Enrolling here is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I had a great time at Cirencester College. My tutor was supportive and I had lots of support for my medical school application. The facilities are good. I really enjoyed my time here. There were great wellbeing resources as well.

If your young person has a disability I would most definitely never send them to this college. Before lockdown, in year 1, my relative was predicted quite high grades. During lockdown they struggled immensely due to their disabilities. Due to the complete lack of support, their mental health deteriorated and they tried to commit suicide twice and was in hospital. Instead of offering support, the college sent him warnings that they will get kicked of his course as they weren't making enough effort. Multiple times family members approached different departments of the college to try to access support and were ignored. The tutors didn't care. They finished with grades 3 below what they were predicted in the first year. To me this says a LOT more about the teaching than it does about my relative. This will literally effect them for the rest of their lives and the college did not care. All the college seem to care about are their figures.
