Yeovil College Information Evening (January 17th)
We have the highest ambition for ourselves, for our students and for our wider community, and we live and breathe a position of ‘only our best is good enough.’ With our eyes firmly on the future, we are focused on improving opportunities across South Somerset and North and West Dorset and our relentless approach is having huge impact; we are changing lives.
This event is ideal for all those thinking about their next steps, whether that is options beyond Year 11 (post-16), progression into university and for adults thinking about a career-changing qualification.
During this event, you will discover your options and choices around A Levels, T Levels, Apprenticeships, Vocational qualifications, degree-level study and professional or leisure qualifications. This will be an amazing opportunity to view our significantly re-developed and re-designed campus, including our UK leading technology, equipment and facilities, our Institute of Technology spaces (IoT), our innovative, state-of-the art Health, Education and Science Centre and our ambitious vision for the rest of the campus. Our campus, drive and desire is to create a 21st century learning experience unrivalled in our local area.
To maintain everyone’s safety we have set the event up to only allow a certain amount of people through our doors at a certain time. Therefore please make sure you book an arrival time. This time slot is just for your arrival time, once you are on campus you can stay for the duration of the event.
Booking for this event is essential.

A Level success is strong with 100% achievement for the sixth year running; 100% pass rate in every subject; 84% of subjects achieved A*-C grades; 30% of students achieved A*-A.
University progression is positive with many of our students progressing to Russell Group Universities, including Oxbridge.
We boast an unrivalled learner experience with a clear line of sight to careers, which is supported by our business community.
