College Strategic Plan - 2022 - 2025

3 Foreword Simon Pierce CEO and Principal Bill Nixon Chair of Governors Developed in consultation with our staff, students, the College’s Corporation Board, and external stakeholders, this Strategic Plan sets out our high-level objectives and commitments for the next three years, as we aspire to be one of the very best technical and vocational colleges in the country. Most importantly, our students and apprentices remain at the heart of everything we do. From cultivating aspirational learning environments through outstanding curriculum and facilities to delivering high quality teaching and learning, we are committed to providing them with every opportunity to excel and achieve the very best outcomes. The College’s Strategic Plan is founded on six key goals; outstanding student experience, exceptional curriculum, growth, transformed estate, employer of choice, and anchor institution, which provide a framework for more detailed operational activities, transforming the way we work with our students, staff, employers and local communities. We recognise the significant role we play as an anchor institution in St Helens and Knowsley and the greater economic challenges our communities face post-pandemic. Through strategic partnerships with key organisations and employers, we are focused on contributing to system leadership and addressing employment needs that will not only support economic recovery and growth but will also provide wider employment opportunities for our students. We invite staff, students, and our partners to work with us to help shape our plans and achieve our goals. College Strategic Plan 2022 - 2025
