teaching ability
The teaching is bad, barely anyone seems to know what to do and some teachers seem to brush concerns under the carpet and not fix anything.
T level
Horrible college. Do not go here
I came to this college with hearing good reviews. I joined a T level with it advising that I would be in college 3 days a week. For the full course my timetable was packed with one day free to do a work placement, I lost all my friends because I had no time to socialise with them. Right off the bat I have had horrible discriminatory teachers. Reported to the college multiple times, they blamed me for being sensitive and refused to do anything yet I was being discriminated over my disability and sex. My other teacher constantly made me feel dumb, I wasn’t doing well and I gave up motivation. Every time in class when we were doing questions he would ask everyone else really easy questions and ask me difficult questions. I was told off for literally everyone else bunking off college and the people bunking never got told off, even when I was properly sick I got told off. I have never felt so depressed in my life. Do not go here because they don’t care about you. It’s ruined my education. I may not be struggling with students bullying me but my teachers did. The only good thing about the college were the start times and counsellors
don't go, please
if I could put no stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE. for my a level mocks of which I would have normally had 9 exams in an exam hall at another acceptable collage, I had one. ONE practice exam in an exam hall for the most important exams of my life. one practice exam out of nine is awful and should seriously be looked into. this collage needs to but closed it is ruining opportunities for young people.
also in terms of extra curricular enrichment I haven't ben on a single school trip and the is no girls sports teams! however there are three male sports teams. it is sexist and appalling for women in sporting.

Go somewhere else
This College is awful, I was bullied by my teacher for my entire 1st year which caused me to fail my course.
The mental health support and support for autistic students is appalling, I am autistic and my student support funding is not currently being spent on support for me, I know this because I am not currently getting any support from the college.
Little to no communication with students or parents.
Its rumored that they are taking funding from other courses and changing the timetable to save money and then put said money into Games design, e-sports and the new games center to make the college more appealing to new students.

The Health and Wellbeing team is the complete opposite to what it says. Making me feels 10x worse about my issues and victimising someone who made plenty of people feel unsafe in the college. This college only cared when I brought up something that would affect their reputation.
They don't care about their students at all.
