The people

We're fortunate to have a very dedicated staff team who share a commitment to excellence and ensuring all students reach their full potential. Several staff have been with us for many years and others have come to us more recently from successful careers in the field of health or child care. A common bond between staff is the shared pride and pleasure they get from students’ achievements.

Students come from a range of backgrounds and cultures and there are approximately equal numbers of young people and adults. Many of our adult students study part-time and are already in employment. We have very good links with employers to support work experience and to make sure the best employment opportunities are available to our students.
