Courses

The college offers many programmes of study for students of different abilities and talents. Qualifications offered include:
* AS level
* A level
* BTEC
* National diploma
* International Baccalaureate Diploma

In addition to these, students are required to take at least one enrichment course in their first year. Whilst not a qualification in itself, this fills the student’s timetable and gives them the opportunity to explore their interests. In addition, most Upper Sixth students are required to take General Studies.

Enrichment courses

The college offers a range of complementary enrichment course for students to study alongside their chosen qualifications. Many of these courses integrate a Key Skills in Communications qualification, which is necessary for those who achieved a grade C or below in English at GCSE level. If the student’s chosen enrichment course does not incorporate Key Skills, then they must study this subject separately in order to obtain a Key Skills qualification.

In recent years, the college has made it complusory part of its education to students for them to receive a qualification equal to a Level 2 ICT qualification, and Level 2 Communications. However, these will not be necessary if these qualifications have already been received in any form of previous education in a way that deems it irrelevant to study them at the college.

Buildings

The college is divided into nine main buildings, or blocks:
* Library Wing (law, history)
* Science Wing (sciences, modern foreign languages)
* Theatre Wing (performing arts, music)
* Dury Falls Wing (business studies, economics)
* Newcourt (sociology, psychology, mathematics)
* Gatehouse (English, media studies, general studies)
* Minster Court (art, computing, graphics, photography, ICT)
* Horsa Building (English, classical civilizations)
* International Building (geology, geography, religious studies, food technologyphilosophy, archaeology)
