We have around 12,000 learners studying on vocational or academic
programmes. 3,000 study full-time at the college’s main Rush Green
campus, between Romford and Dagenham but our Division of Engineering is
located at the Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence
(CEME) close to Ford’s Dagenham site and our School of Performing Arts
is based in the Broadway Theatre, Barking. Most of our full-time
students are aged 16-19 but we also have 14-16 year old students as
well as adults of all ages.
Our remaining 9,000 learners
study part-time – either at Rush Green, CEME, the Barking Learning
Centre, one of our three “Learning Villages” (mainly doing introductory
IT courses) or with one of our many community partners operating in
church halls, mosques and community centres throughout East London.
Our
most recent Ofsted report (May 2007) was very positive, listing the
many major strengths of the college and saying our provision was good.
We have been awarded the status of “Centre of Vocational Excellence” (CoVE) in three different programme areas:
- Care
- Construction
- Engineering (Mechanical & Motor Vehicle)
However, all of our programmes are of very high quality. As well as those listed above, these are in:
- Business & Management
- Creative & Cultural Industries
- Foundation Studies
- Hospitality & Sport
- Humanities, Languages & Science
- Information Technology.
Our
facilities and staff are among the best in the country. Our commitment
is to help you succeed in your learning and future career. We hope to
see you soon!
