Principal's welcome
A very warm welcome to City and Islington College.
If you want to study at one of the country’s most successful
colleges, our website is a good place to start. I hope that
you’ll become one of our many student success stories, on track to
get great results.
Our excellent achievement rates were one of the main reasons for
our outstanding Ofsted inspection in 2008. Since then we have
been awarded Beacon status in recognition of the high quality of
our teaching and learning.
How have we become so successful? Firstly, because we value
our students – the range of backgrounds, experiences, energy and
enthusiasm that students of all ages bring to the College. We
celebrate their success, set challenging targets and provide
excellent support.
And we believe in the importance of the environment – that’s why
we’ve invested £64 million – more than any other college in the UK
– in developing our new Centres; great places to study equipped
with leading edge technology.
But most of all, we ensure that you will get the best
opportunities to learn, with courses that are well organised and
designed to be fun as well as demanding, and teachers who are
second to none.
I often visit our Centres and always value finding out how our
students are getting on. I hope to meet many of you in your time
with us.
