The Bournemouth and Poole College has two main sites, one in Bournemouth and one in Poole. Leaders provide a range of different subjects at each campus. For example, service industries, business, sports and public services are offered at Bournemouth, while engineering, construction, art and design, media, health and science are offered at Poole. A further specialist site, the Fulcrum Centre in Poole, provides training in boatbuilding and carpentry. At the time of the inspection, there were 2,813 students on education programmes for young people, 1,483 students studying adult learning programmes, 1,951 apprentices and 280 students with high needs. Education programmes for young people are offered at entry level to level 3. A high proportion of students study English and/or mathematics at GCSE alongside their vocational or technical programmes. Leaders provide T levels in a range of subjects, including digital, education and health. Adult learning programmes are offered in a range of sectors, the largest being foundations for learning and life and health and social care. Courses in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) are provided from entry level to level 2. The largest apprenticeship programmes are in construction, engineering and healthcare. Over half of apprenticeships are level 3, over a quarter are level 2, and the remainder are levels 4 to 6. Just under half of all apprentices are aged 16 to 18. Students with high needs typically have education, health and care plans (EHC plan). Around a fifth of students with high needs study programmes specifically designed for them at the Poole campus. These include programmes to support the transition to further study, employment and adulthood. Other students with high needs study vocational and technical programmes across all campuses. Leaders work with two subcontractors, both offering specialist apprenticeship provision.
