In deciding to come to Cirencester College you will be choosing one of the best colleges in the country, and that’s official - say the experts. In the DfES education league tables for 2006 (published in February 2007), Cirencester College was not only the top tertiary college but also achieved the best results of all general further education colleges in the country as well as most of our neighbouring schools with sixth forms.

The December 2006 Ofsted Inspection confirmed the reputation of the college as one of the very best in the country with an ‘outstanding’ report. Cirencester College is one of only a very few colleges in the country to achieve grade 1 (outstanding) across the board in every area of inspection: Effectiveness of Provision - Grade 1 (Outstanding) Capacity to Improve - Grade 1 (Outstanding) Achievements and Standards - Grade 1 (Outstanding) Quality of Provision - Grade 1 (Outstanding) Leadership and Management - Grade 1 (Outstanding) The combination of best results and an ‘outstanding’ inspection report endorses our Beacon College status, the prestigious award bestowed on the College in September 2004 recognising our exceptional commitment to our students and their future.

But don't just take our word for it ... see what our students have to say.

Cirencester College provides open access to a comprehensive range of high quality education and training for people over the age of 16, regardless of race, class, belief, language, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, previous educational attainment or particular circumstances.
