I'm a Parent/Guardian...

As one of the leading educators in North Derbyshire, Chesterfield College offers a wide range of subjects from entry level to Foundation Degree, with courses taught by highly qualified subject specialists. In a large College like ours, the educational and technological study facilities on offer are modern and extensive.

Furthermore, the range of course options here is far greater than in many other centres. This allows us to offer more combinations of Vocational Qualifications, AS Levels, A Levels than many other post-16 centres.

We find that students achieve the transition from school smoothly and very quickly settle down into the rather different routines of College life.

The general atmosphere of College life might be said to be less regimented than in some schools. For instance, there is no formal daily registration; there are no detentions or withdrawals of privilege and no dress policy.

However, this should not obscure the fact that College students need to be mature and motivated individuals who can take responsibility for their own learning.
