Our aim is to: Promote equality and diversity across all its activities Foster and promote good relations between people of a diverse background Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation Encourage and widen participation, raise standards and advance aspiration for all. The following provides a summary of our activities and their impact during the year: The College appointed a number of Progress Coaches during the previous year who are responsible for engaging, mentoring, coaching and supporting learners on Study Programmes to achieve successfully. Tutorial workshops for all students have reinforced the College’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and have further developed students’ understanding of their responsibilities as part of the College community.

Students and apprentices behave well in workshops, classrooms and the workplace. They respect their peers and are able to communicate well with each other and with teachers, and with customers in the workplace. They respect others’ views and use appropriate language in learning sessions.’ The College’s Work Experience Coordinator has effectively led the development and provision of high quality work experience opportunities for all groups of students in order to develop their employability skills, raise their aspirations and enable their sustained progression into employment, further or higher education. During the year 100% of students on full-time study programmes completed a work experience placement. The College effectively engaged with the National Citizenship Service, with 98 students completing the programme and was successful in receiving the Champion Schools’ Bronze Award in recognition of outstanding NCS engagement.
