ACHIEVEMENT OF LSC TARGETS FOR RECRUITMENT

Student Performance
Students' success is the most important measure of our service. Over the last three years the college has maintained significant overall improvement in retention and achievement (taken together retention and achievement provide the percentange measure of success).The great improvement in student sucess on long courses is particularly pleasing. High perfomance standards have been reached by a growing number of students.

Student numbers on short courses have grown dramatically. The college is proud that its extensive programme actively encouraging wide participation has recorded final success rates twenty percentage points above the national benchmark in 2002-2003.
