Values and vision
Improving opportunities and outcomes for our pupils and students remains at the heart of Orchard Hill College. The college believes that all young people deserve to leave education confident that they have developed the skills they need to achieve their ambitions, with meaningful education, work and life experiences to draw on. This is the confidence that Orchard Hill aims to deliver.
The college is steadily extending the reach of provision within local communities from primary through secondary to further education, smoothing transitions and giving pupils and students the benefit of expertise generated from the collegiate approach to knowledge-sharing amongst our staff. All of this is underpinned by a suite of shared services whose expert staff work closely with students and staff in each school/College centre and with affiliates and commissioning organisations to improve educational and operational quality at every level to benefit students.
