“I along with all the senior team and governors, would like to congratulate all of our students and staff on their hard work and success.”

The college is also celebrating the achievement of 26-year-old Robert Murphy, who passed the college’s Access to Higher Education course and will now go on to study social sciences at the University of Cambridge.
