Preston College
Preston
College is one of the largest FE colleges in England with somewhere between
20,000 and 30,000 students enrolled at any one time. This includes 4,000
full-time 16 - 18 year olds and 1,500 adults enrolled on full-time courses.
As well as courses being delivered on the main site, there are also courses delivered on another teaching site, centres within schools, and a local outreach centre at the PC World superstore. The main college site is vast - many buildings joined together by walkways. Central to the site is the "High Street" which contains shops and eating areas. On one side of this is the prominent sports building, on the other the A Level Centre. Both these buildings were recently built, and share the same similar white designs. Further into the site are a collection of smaller and older buildings which house the faculities, learning centres, and the main library.
The college prides itself on the high level of care and support it provides for its students. Display boards frequently feature students' work and case studies of students who have progressed from the college. There is little sign of grafitti. All areas of the curriculum have entry-level courses and there is a firm commitment to equal opportunities across the college.
