Following the university ethos, the college combines informality and an adult approach to education, at both A level and GCSE, with a disciplined system in which each student's work is carefully monitored.

The admissions process is friendly, informal, and our focus is on providing each applicant with the best available advice on all their options at A level and GCSE, without obligation. We are selective to the extent that we expect students to have above average grades and further academic ambitions and interests beyond the school curriculum.
