The College has an excellent reputation for looking after its students. Our College motto is “We Count in Ones”. Even though we are a large College, students are connected to individuals and small groups in a way which makes them feel they belong. All students belong to a Tutor group of between 20-23 students, to teaching groups with an average size of 18 students and to Activities groups which are often much smaller. In this way they are able to make a variety of friends and they are known well by a number of teachers.
