Went to the a levels open day with my daughter. The campus is excellent and the staff were truly committed and very helpful. Came away with some great information and my daughter can't wait to start there next year. Well done guys and thanks 👏

I did digital marketing course online. I thought in beginning it could be a scam becouse if you will not finish course you have to pay for it.so my experience proved me wrong.if you put effort in to the course and finish it you get sertification. If assessment wasn't good enough I got mark from tutors about my mistakes and what needed to be corrected. Yes it takes some time to do course but it was useful for me and I really felt tutors being where for me becous hi left his comments to every assessment I submitted and for correct ones and for not correct ones with suggestions how to correct it.so I understand why you need to pay if you not finish it.its for free and I believe because of that people probably not taking it seriously and quite course forgetting that people put they effort and time to create for you opportunity for free course.

As an exam centre this is terrible, exams team don't answer phones or emails. The agreed access arrangements weren't honoured. Candidates weren't told where to go for the exams. This happened over two exam seasons very sadly, would never use as an external candidate again

My teaching staff was amazing, so supportive and it lead me to good grades. This was public services. However, my experience with the rest was horrible, well-being was not supportive at all, gave me a disciplinary for reason not needed. They talk about current and ex students behind their back couple of which was me and friend. They did not have same level of care for me as they did for others and warned other students for being friends with me. Other professionals continually told them how to support me and they didn’t. My exam in my second year was started hours late and was very interrupted as someone in a separate room it was even harder.

Schools are supposed to teach students facts, not indulge mentally ill fantasies. No teacher should have to ignore their own beliefs, (Which are factually correct) to make someone feel better about themselves. This is a dangerous precedent to set moving forward, where does it end? Teachers who just want to educate the next generation punished, for not referring to a girl as an elephant? Because thats what she feels she is? You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

If you don’t want to ruin your future never study in this place. The staff treats the students unfairly. They made so many mistakes with my exam, they didn’t put my name on the register even though I was entitled to do my exams in the previous year as I passed my level 1. I expected them to sort out the issue and I expected to receive any help but instead they were passive aggressive towards me. They had an error with the system but refused to admit their mistake and they ruined my future. The staff are very unprofessional, they don’t empathise the students, they don’t know how to help the students, they are rude and many more.
Such a horrible place to study if you wanted a bright future.

Mixed feelings. My daughter goes here and was allowed to change her course without parental consent (altho I support her decisions). However, the tutors seem mostly very supportive and helpful during the 2 years she's been attending.

Today I popped in and had some time to wait in the foyer where the Art department have some beautiful items on display from one of their students. Beautiful.
