After successfully holding the matrix Standard since 2004, Selby College have once again been successful in their reaccreditation.  They have maintained their high standards of information, advice and guidance through continual improvement and monitoring focussing on leadership and management.

Key comments from Assessment Services assessor, Susan Smith were, ‘Key strengths in leadership of an effective and supportive IAG service throughout the college – a sense of mission and purpose is evident across the whole of Selby College such that students are offered a consistent service that meets their needs. Staff comment that despite the challenging agenda, the leadership and management in the College helps them to retain their focus on providing impartial support that achieves agreed student outcomes.’

Congratulations!
