Brockenhurst College

Description

Brock has been in existence since 1909 and has evolved into one of the most successful tertiary and sixth form Colleges in the UK. Following our Ofsted inspection in 2004, we were judged to be 'outstanding' and acquired the coveted Beacon College status from the Department for Education and Skills. Ofsted confirmed our 'outstanding' status in both 2005, 2006 and 2008. We are the first choice sixth form for more than 2,700 school leavers recruited from an area embracing the New Forest, Bournemouth & Poole, East Dorset, Southampton Waterside, South Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight.We enrol more than 8,000 part-time adult students on a range of qualification courses and we provide tailor made training programmes of the highest quality for local businesses and employers. We lead one of the most successful 14-19 partnerships in the country and currently coordinate programmes for up to 2,000 secondary school students from 10 contributory schools.Our success comes from a simple focus on vision, core values and a single minded purpose to help people fulfil their potential. We are inclusive and have an open access policy that admits each and every individual to the course of their choice and from which they can benefit. Our Core Values are: * That learning has the power to unlock potential * A belief in educational and social inclusion * That people matter * A commitment to unequivocal excellence in all we do * That the future should be embraced through creativity and innovationOur Core Purpose is:To help people make the most of their lives through learning.It was the first century AD philosopher and one time Greek slave Epictetus who wrote: 'only the educated are free.' At Brock we are passionate about our belief in education and the contribution that learning can make to the fulfilment of people's lives. To this end we have committed ourselves to being the best and we work continuously to make this happen. Our focus is the learner and how we can improve to enrich his or her experience.
