80 years of stories.

As we mark our 80th Anniversary, we’re telling the stories of our college community.

The lives we have shaped, the careers we have grown and the people we have met along the way.

We remember our first apprentice George Loble, a refugee from Germany who fled Nazi persecution before the war.

We celebrate our brilliant students who have gone on to do amazing things.

And we recognise some of our staff who put everything they’ve got into help our students succeed.
