During lockdown the team ensured no student was disadvantaged by organising food deliveries to every leaner’s house with the ingredients required for that day’s online lessons, while tutors delivered live cooking masterclasses from their own homes. Outcomes are consistently excellent with 100% of students achieving their targets.
Along with its highly successful programmes, the team also runs a successful commercial restaurant where students can practice in a realistic working environment. The team has previously won a Quality and Careers Standards award, the only college in Hampshire to do so, and are now used as an exemplar for excellence.
