We also have a packed events calendar throughout the year including film nights, DJ nights, bowling and ‘Sloppy Hips’… sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

Accommodation

There is catered accommodation available on the Riseholme campus for over 120 students, 70 of whom are under 18 years of age, and due to the nature of the programme, many choose to be residential.

Financial support may be available to assist in the payment of residential fees for full-time Further Education students who wish to live in campus accommodation. Applications should be made to the College.

We take the care and safeguarding of our students seriously. We work to the national care standards to safeguard and promote the welfare of young people under 18 who reside on campus. We have a team of housekeeping and warden staff responsible for students, as well as 24-hour security on site.

Bursaries are allocated following a financial assessment process.
