Welcome to all new Applemore students

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Applemore College - a Specialist College for Technology.

I hope this is the beginning of a highly successful journey with you and your child over the next five years.

Our key priority is to continue to build on the academic success achieved in previous years to improve standards even further. We are working relentlessly to increase the quality of student learning; improve the learning environment across the College and extend the range of opportunities we provide for our students. Our traditional values of respect and responsibility and achieving one's personal best are central to everything we do.

As a small school, we pride ourselves on developing a close relationship both with our students and their parents, working in partnership to encourage and support all our students to achieve their personal best. In this way, we are able to improve their life chances and ensure they are fully prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead as young adults in a rapidly changing world. Through our status as a Technology College we will provide our students with the skills to become the ‘solution finders' of tomorrow.

Your child will be joining the College at a very exciting time since we are entering a new chapter in the life of the school. One that will see us building on the things we do well to improve standards even higher. In addition we will continue our drive to place Applemore at the heart of the local community by working in partnership with Colleges, Universities and local businesses.

This Prospectus can provide only a small flavour of life at Applemore College. As Ofsted recognised, we are "a rapidly improving school" and it is only by visiting us that you can experience for yourselves how we really are ‘moving forward together' to fulfil our vision to become ‘the first choice school for students, parents and staff'.

I look forward to meeting you at the earliest opportunity.

Mr R Marsh
