West Suffolk College is a medium-sized further education (FE) college in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, delivering UAL Awarding Body qualifications. We spoke to Derek Johnson, Group Faculty Head Arts to find out more about the college’s recent outstanding award from Ofsted.
We provide an outstanding education to every one of our students. Our ethos is to put our learners’ success at the heart of everything we do. That means we do everything we can to help our students succeed and be the best they can be.
We have an impressive range of courses, high quality facilities, inspiring tutors and incredible opportunities to open up a career or succeed in higher education. Our award-winning annual in-house MARS Award (Maths, Art, Religion, Science) is delivered to all levels and courses over December and January – and this covers many OFSTED targeted areas brilliantly.
We believe in engaging with our students as young adults in a supportive and encouraging environment and we aim to give the best opportunity to develop, grow and become passionately involved in their own education.
