“Our overall score for learner satisfaction at Weston was 84 per cent and our highest accolade was 89 per cent for the respect students received from staff.
“This is an excellent result and shows just how highly students think of their College.”
Principal Dr Paul Phillips, OBE, added: “I am very proud of our team at Weston College and the fact that their tremendous hard work has been appreciated by so many learners and now recognised by the Government.”
