“The quality of teaching and achievement of students is outstanding.”
Our high quality teaching and learning has been recognised
by Ofsted. For our second Ofsted inspection, we were judged as an ‘outstanding’ provider of education.
Welcome to One I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to One; we are delighted that you have taken the time to visit us. We hope that by the time you leave, you will have a full understanding of the courses on offer and the commitment we have to ensuring that all students at One are given the opportunity to raise and reach their aspirations. We have a first class staff team and you can be sure that you will get the very best teaching, support and resources you need to make a success of your time at One and realise your ambitions. Since we opened visitors to One have commented on the positive, purposeful and highly professional atmosphere, relating it to a ‘mini university’, this is not by accident. We believe that we have established excellent relationships between students and staff who work in partnership to achieve the very best. I look forward to meeting you.
