Non supportive staff
The staff in this college are not supportive whatsoever! Despite my hard work for 2 years with a qualification, the staff were not offering any support whatsoever so i was unable to complete it. If this was a kennels, i would not even send a dog here.

You will like it if you go there
It is such an amazing place. They actually care about me unlike my school did. I can go the the well fair team whenever I have a problem and they help to sort it out. Everyone is so nice and they help you with anything. I made a lot of friends being there. It's my second year now and I'm still loving it. The food is quite expensive, £2.20 for a drink. I get that they have to make money but they don't need to have it that expensive.

My experience
Absolutely brilliant! I went here for 1 year before moving up Yarmouth. They treated me right and helped me when I was struggling, I was in special need class cause I’m autistic and the teacher was amazing, he gave me one to one with another teacher and understood why I was late to class! Worse part about it is some the foods I can’t eat or I don’t like but that’s fine I would recommend to go to this college as there’s friendly people

Do not go here
The college is unorganised, and not helpful. They don’t understand mental health, and just put any kind of issue down to hormones. The photography lead is a hot mess, he is all over the place and doesn’t have a clue. Anyone can get in, they make it really clear that you must have a lanyard on you to get into the college site, but anyone can walk in, as long as you can say a random subject to the blokes on the gate you’re fine.

Social distancing
They have kept the limit of students to a reasonable amount each day which means socially distancing is easier
