BEDFORD COLLEGE

Our reputation for achievement, encouragement and support attracts thousands of students every year. We put an emphasis on excellence and encouraging ambition, which is why we have an exceptional record of both academic and vocational success – something that was recognised by Ofsted when they graded us as outstanding in our latest inspection. We are also proud recipients of a number of awards for both training and excellence, and continually strive to maintain and improve our contribution to the local economy. Bedford College aims to be one of the best general further education colleges in the country, offering courses at all levels from entry level to higher education. In particular we wish to be recognised as: the leading advocate for learning within the local community with strong and productive links with other partners, a nationally recognised centre of excellence in arts and technology education, the leading provider of care, leisure and business training in the county, the best local sixth form measured by results and value added scores.
