The College was inspected by Ofsted in February 2009. Both quality of education overall and the quality of teaching and assessment were judged to be “outstanding”.

The report commented:
‘The College is highly successful in achieving its aims of fostering high academic outcomes and at the same time boosting students’ capacity for vigorous independent academic effort and personal organisation’.
