Our Direction of Travel 2017–2020

Our strategic plan builds upon the significant progress made in the past four years.

We have delivered: • An improved student experience – good outcomes with a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. • High progression (97%) our students consistently outperform state school and sixth form colleges benchmarks for degree outcomes. • An award winning marketing strategy that has assisted the College in exceeding its student recruitment targets. • 14 new courses developed to deliver growth. • An ‘Outstanding’ financial health position and we have invested money in infrastructure and staffing. We increased learner numbers by 3.6 % last year and look to do the same this year. • Investment of £1.4m on buildings to create state-of-the-art facilities, with 50 new Apple Macs in a new Digital Suite, a

Mega-Electronic Lab, two new Digital Hubs, and new Textiles and Art Studios. Our gym has been refurbished and equipped with the latest sports fitness equipment to enhance our elite sports, including rugby, rowing, basketball, football and other programmes. • Team culture, with a ‘can do’ approach. • Development of new partnerships with

Ealing Trailfinders, Wycombe Wanderers,

Cisco, Softcat and Oxford University, with the introduction of the Aspire

Programme and more.
