I am writing to confirm the tcome of the FE Commissioner Structure and Prospect · Appraisal of your Colle , and to set out the actions we now expect the College to take to ensure the Appraisal outcomes, and the FE Commissioner's earlier assessment, are fully implemented. I am very grateful for the support that the FE Commissioner has received from yourself and the College during the Appraisal, and the steps you have taken to date to respond to the recommendations in my predecessor's letter of 22 April 2014. As you are aware, in light of the notification by the Skills Funding Agency that the College's financial health is inadequate, the FE Commissioner reviewed the position of your College between 17 and 28 March 2014. The FE Commissioner acknowledged the capacity and capability of the governance and leadership to deliver financial recovery in the short term, but concluded that the College could not continue to operate on its own. The FE Commissioner was asked to lead a Structure and Prospects Appraisal to determine the way forward for land-based provision in the area. This Appraisal was completed in September 2014. I have now received the FE Commissioner's Appraisal report - a copy of which is attached.

  • Year 7 Residential
    1 Newsletter: Issue 7 October 2017 Year 7 Residential Year 7 students have now successfully completed their first residential at Bideford College. The 3 day trip to Dartmoor Training Centre was both challenging and rewarding. We encouraged students to step out of their comfort zone and experi- ence learning outside the class room. Students developed the skills required and the expectations at Bideford College. They have also developed positive relationships with other students and staff within their House which will last throughout their time at Bideford College. Mrs Vowles. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 2 Lyndsey Kane - Principal I cannot believe that we are already at the end of the first half term of the academic year 2017-2018. The 7 weeks have flown by and so very much has been achieved in them. We came back from the summer break celebrating our best ever examination results at both GCSE and A Level at Bideford College. As I said then, in my press release, this was just the “tip of the iceberg” in the future achievements of the staff and students of Bideford College. The term started with a reiteration of the high standards and expectations of all at Bideford College and we have all been working really hard from the very first day – to surpass the wonderful achievements of the students last year and make sure that every young person who attends Bideford College is the very best that they can be. We wel- comed a wonderful group of Year 7 students and I am privileged to spend most days hearing about what they have been up to, as we chat in the corridors.
