WE GIVE OUR STUDENTS THE EMPLOYMENT EDGE 

Industry placements and work experience is a fundamental part of a learner’s study programme at Yeovil College. We work on live briefs, real-time projects, and engage with local employers who work with us to support the design of our curriculum as well as delivering master classes. 

WE WANT THE BEST FOR OUR STUDENTS 

We’re only interested in delivering the very best. We push ourselves daily; average has no place on our campus. Learners will never be just a number to us. We genuinely work with each and every student to develop the right support plan for them. We have relentless ambition and high expectations for our learners to be the very best they can. 

The sky really is the limit at Yeovil College. 

WE WORK HARD. AND WE ASK OUR STUDENTS TO WORK HARD 

College isn’t easy. Students will be stretched and challenged to become the very best they can be. We expect high standards and outstanding attitudes to learning. Be assured that when our students work hard, we work even harder. Investment into ensuring all our teachers are outstanding educators is massive at Yeovil College. 

We’ll push and challenge; we’ll set difficult tasks; we’ll issue live projects, and we’ll also nurture when needed. 

WE’LL DELIVER EXPERIENCE AND OPPORTUNITY 

Our target is a student’s career. Our end game is that dream job! We’ll use our contacts, local knowledge, business relationships, community engagement and first-class industry-standard facilities to ensure every student has the opportunity to achieve their goals. 

WE INVEST IN OUR FUTURE 

We were awarded £2.4 million to deliver a digitally enabled campus which involves massive investment in our IT infrastructure – this is a game changer for us, setting us apart from other colleges. On top of this we have an ambitious campus development agenda, reshaping and redesigning our full campus to create a hub of technological innovation (around £50m+ in total).  

YC EDGE 

Aspiration, expectation and entitlement is our mantra and is the guiding principle in setting out the ‘Yeovil Edge’ concept. Yeovil Edge is bespoke to Yeovil College and it has been designed to enable students to get ahead and differentiate themselves within a crowded market-place. YC Edge encompasses enrichment activities that develop high aspirations, confidence, resilience and encouraging a healthy lifestyle and supports students to become well-rounded members of society, confident to progress into their intended career or university destination. Through Edge we support our students to develop the underpinning knowledge and self-worth needed to be successful in work and life, whilst developing the mind-set of to expect more, is to achieve more. Yeovil College isn’t about leaving with just a qualification, it’s about shaping and developing our next generation to be the best they can be.
