We offer academic excellence at our English and Welsh Bridge town centre campuses and vocational excellence at our technical and professional centre based at the London Road Campus. We can provide the fantastic facilities, teaching and resources for all of our students.
At the core of our success is our commitment to individual students. This means high-quality teaching and close tutorial support. All subjects offer additional one-to-one and small group support for students who are struggling or who want to push themselves even further. Our excellence programme has been set up to provide additional support for students applying to the top universities.
