Yeovil College

I recently had a tour of Yeovil College by its Principal, James Hampton.

You cannot be but impressed by the degree of activity that is taking place on this site. Drawing students of all ages from all over South Somerset and West Dorset there is a real sense of calm and desire to learn amngst the students I saw.

They also have big plans for the future- a £60m scheme to rebuild much of the College campus. Controversially they have become entangled in the possible development of the Yeovil Sports Zone but have a very clear position that they require new sports facilities and have a duty to explore with the Council whether the Council is serious about the Sports Zone or whether the College will have to build their own on their current site.

Now for a bit of publicity. Fancy a facial, a haircut or a silver service meal, the Yeovil College might well be the place to go? I was very impressed by the activities they are undertaking to give their students the experience of contact with real clients. I am going to give it a go - so should you.
