Derby College has now arrived at a very important milestone in its development. Our latest inspection report from Ofsted made hugely impressive reading, thanks to the talents and endeavours of our students, staff and stakeholders. But we are not resting on our laurels: we remain as dedicated to innovation, quality and inclusion as ever. In 2009 we unveiled our most ambitious project to date, our superb new Roundhouse campus.
Our long-term success as a College is based on strong teamwork and flourishing partnerships. I am very fortunate to work with an outstanding group of governors and staff for whom excellence is a watchword. I am also delighted that Derby College has struck up positive strategic alliances with such a wide range of stakeholders, from universities to employers. Together we can all make a difference.
