PCAD has developed its curriculum appropriately to meet the needs and interests of young people in the local area. It has developed a good range of progression pathways for students to higher education, providing good guidance and support. The work with students aged 14-16 is very successful and the links with local schools are very productive.

The commitment and continued support of the college are contributing significantly to the successful planning and preparation for taking forward the 14-19 reforms in the local area. The sharing of resources and the expertise of the college in the gateway bid for Creative and Media has been a particularly important feature of the developments.
