It is my pleasure to welcome you to The City of Leicester College; a wonderfully cohesive, multi-cultural and ambitious college on the city’s eastern border. I am very proud to represent the community we serve and encourage you to look at our website, to gain a sense of the excellent work produced by our students and staff. This site also contains a huge amount of practical information for prospective and current members of our college, but do please contact the college with any further information you require.

In my short time at The City of Leicester College I have been struck by the professionalism and drive of everyone I have encountered. I have seen first-hand the wide range of learning experiences provided inside and outside the classroom and the positive way that all our students have engaged with their learning. As one of the few colleges in the city with provision for all students between the ages of eleven and nineteen, we are uniquely placed to deliver individual and coherent support to our students from the first day of secondary school until the day they are ready to transfer to university, work or further training. We take our responsibility to develop the whole person very seriously as we truly believe academic knowledge alone will not produce young adults who will be happy, ambitious or able to make a difference. As such we invest heavily to ensure that our students are well rounded, well supported and receive the support that they need.

In the last few years there have been some really exciting developments at The City of Leicester College, from moving into a new state of the art building and remodelling the curriculum to deliver the best possible learning experiences for our students. Results are improving at GCSE and our A-Level results have been exceptional. I passionately believe however, that we are still at the start of a rapid and sustained journey of improvement.

I look forward to you joining us and contributing to our journey.
