Duke of Edinburgh

All learners will be offered the opportunity to participate in The Duke of Edinburgh programme.

Enterprise and Innovation

Students will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of enterprise initiatives and projects to enhance their skills and employability. In 2013-2014 over 200 students participated in a Dragon’s Den pitch of their fundraising activities for Children in Need. This was a fantastic opportunity for the students to gain first hand experience of presenting their ideas to a judging panel of senior college staff and celebrities Sophie Evans and Wyn Evans.
