About Us

Prioritising their inclusion, learning and progress, supporting their health and wellbeing and realising their potential.

Recruit and retain the most talented staff, investing in them to fulfil their potential, creating a wealth of opportunities for personal development and progression, creating a culture of co-prosperity, galvanising them through inclusive practice, recognising the difference they make and rewarding them for the work they do.

A passion for inclusive, high quality education, training and skills solutions, holding ourselves to the highest possible standards, meeting (and exceeding) targets, making improvements, valuing creativity, supporting digital innovation and pedagogy.

Looking forward to the future, maintaining a growth mind-set, exploring new routes to inclusion, partnership and collaboration, harnessing AI safely and ethically for efficiency, digitalising and embracing new technologies, anticipating and responding to ongoing economic and social needs and demands.

Actively seeking opportunities to become more inclusive, working with others in the best interests of the college community and key stakeholders, delighting our customers.

Adding social capital through inclusion, working to achieve net zero carbon targets and enhancing biodiversity, acting with integrity, with high levels of accountability and complete transparency, treating others fairly and with respect, communicating clearly, concisely and openly.

Balancing an inclusive educational character with cost effectiveness, ever-mindful of an increasingly risk-laden and unpredictable operational environment, the need for broader sensitivity analysis in budgeting and forecasting and the importance of mitigating risks that could affect the college’s solvency.

Provide exceptional, inclusive technical learning opportunities, such that the college’s journey from good to great continues at pace.

Establish a first-class Technical Excellence College with an inclusive, responsive, skills-based provision that resonates with national and sub-regional priorities and meets the needs of local sectors, employers and community partners.

Secure the college’s continued, good financial health whilst investing to maintain its inclusive, educational character; meet (or exceed) forecasted income targets and assure its future financial viability.

Undertake a root and branch review of the (whole) college’s approach to inclusion to encompass: transition in, through and out of college, adaptations to the college estate and learning environment, changes to policies and procedures, ways of working and others. Develop an inclusion strategy.
