John Ruskin College

If you choose John Ruskin College it will be because you want to succeed in your choice of qualifications so that you can progress to further study or to employment. Our aim is to help you to do that in every way we can. There are three key ingredients that have led to our great success in getting students to achieve. These are the excellence of our teaching, the excellence of the support that we offer students and the excellence of our facilities. You will find out more about all of these things if you read through this prospectus. You are also invited to visit the college at one of our open events, where you can meet staff and students, see the facilities for yourselves and find out about the whole college experience.
We pride ourselves on the friendly supportive atmosphere at the college. Students from a wide range of different social and cultural backgrounds come here and one of the great benefits that we offer is the opportunity to study in a multi cultural environment where your experience will be enriched by friendships and working relationships with those whose backgrounds may be different from your own. We are known for the mutual respect that exists between students and between students and staff, all of which will help you to achieve your potential and prepare you to play a worthwhile role in society.

We have high expectations of our students who are proud to be part of our college community. Learning to meet these standards is an important part of personal development. College helps you mature and take more responsibility for yourself and in this way it is a very good transition between school and university or between school and employment. We make it clear from the outset what is expected. You must do your very best in your work, in your behaviour and in your attendance and punctuality. If you find this difficult then we will provide you with the support you need and we will also involve your parents or guardians in the process. We believe that students, staff and parents working together is a winning combination.

If you are determined to make the most of your college experience then come and see for yourself how John Ruskin College can help you achieve your aspirations. We would like to meet you.
