| Isle of Wight College |
The Isle of Wight College is situated at the centre of the Island, in Newport within easy reach of all major Island towns and the south of England.
The College offers an extensive range of opportunities for full and part-time learners. It provides courses from entry level to Level 4 across a wide range of disciplines. It has close links with local schools and provides a thriving vocational curriculum for 14 -16 year olds.
The College has now opened, as part of a £10 million redevelopment, a series of new facilities including a nursery, a state-of-the-art block for Art, Design and Media, a new Learning Resources Centre, new fully equipped Gymnasium and has extended its good facilities in Construction.
In association with a number of partners The Isle of Wight College has Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) status in Hospitality and Catering, Residential and Domiciliary Care, in Childcare and in Marine Industries.
Courses for composites and marine industries have been developed in conjunction with a consortium of local companies to ensure the training provided meets the needs of local employers.
Following an excellent OFSTED report in 2004, the College featured in OFSTED’s “particularly successful schools list”
(www.OFSTED.gov.uk/reports/index.cfm).
Our mission is to place “Students First” and the inspectors noted in their report that “staff share a common purpose of putting students learning and personal development first”. |
