Alumni Get Together

On Friday 1st July we were joined by over 40 former St Philip’s students for our annual alumni event.  We hosted the event at St Philip’s and former students enjoyed some refreshments and a chance to catch up with old friends as well as staff.  The event has grown in popularity over the years and it is always fantastic to hear of the great personal achievements from our young people.

This year, 38 ex-St Philip’s students completed our “leavers” survey which we use to help shape our careers programme.  It was reassuring to see that 94% said they were enjoying the course they are on and 89% feel they receive enough support at college.

Students develop very high levels of positive behaviour and feel extremely safe. They are very considerate, very respectful and caring of others and highly positive about learning.
