This high level of specialism is very unusual for a general further education college. This has been recognised through our involvement in the Learning and Skills Improvement Service projects, local and national initiatives, projects with the Department for Education and from feedback in the Ofsted Survey 2015, which recognised this provision as ‘outstanding’.
