The vision for South Essex College of Further and Higher Education is an ambitious one. We aim to provide outstanding education and skills training. That’s across our campuses in Thurrock, Basildon and Southend and from entry level to full honours degrees for young people and adults in order to better meet the learning and skills needs of local people, employers and communities.
Why study with us?
The values that underpin our approach are the 3 As of Aspiration, Access and Achievement:
Aspiration
We are an extremely ambitious College with high standards and high expectations of our students and of ourselves as staff. We want all our students to pursue their dreams and goals with our help to ensure they reach their full potential.
Access
We’re proud to be an inclusive College welcoming students of all ages and backgrounds in a welcoming and supportive learning environment. Our enthusiastic and industry experienced staff and comprehensive learner support services are focused on providing an outstanding learner experience at the College. Our award winning learner services team ensures our learners get the support they need to achieve success. The College is innovative, creative, responsive, modern and well resourced and delivers excellent customer service.
Achievement
Our number one priority is our students’ achievement and learner success. We’re proud of our high pass rates and outstanding rates of progression to employment and higher education. We aim to ensure all our students develop transferable skills that will benefit their next career move whether it’s university or employment.
The College works in close partnership with schools, other colleges, training providers, universities, employers and all the key local agencies and organisations to ensure a more coherent and comprehensive offer is available to learners across South Essex, with clear access routes to further education and beyond to higher education and employment.
I hope that you find the College website useful and that you will find out more about studying at South Essex College by requesting a prospectus or coming to one of our open days.
I hope to welcome you to South Essex College in the near future.
Best wishes.
John Hayles
Acting Principal and Chief Executive
