USP College - Palmer's Campus

My son attended here. For too much of the time he was attending lessons and the qualified teaching staff were absent having left a older student to over see left work. System for monitoring attendance was hit or miss. In his 2 years of attendance my son couldn't identify the Principal. Complaints made over staff dropping out of providing lessons to further their own careers ignored and dismissed despite staff posting on FB what they were up too. Unqualified staff having to step out of lessons to Google answers to students questions. There were some dedicated staff but those we know ow have left.

personally I've never been as well, i'm not finished school yet however from the reviews I've read i don't know if i should go or not, one review really caught my attention i see there is no mine craft course which deters my future

My husband went there in there 1950's It was a boys school and they had a pool, and everyone had to swim NAKED. It was called Palmers endowed school for boys. He loved it, but felt sorry for the boys who had to live there. Looks totally different.

Teachers lacking at all times, very very bad educational system, and the grading system makes no sense, very twisted college, would not recommend to anyone.

Went there as a student couple years ago. They have a great little study quiet room which was my little haven at the college. However, there admin was woeful with how they juggled me with courses by taking me off the course i applied for without communication. Also they were't great at sorting out the tickets for the coach and had developement days which were a waste of time and I much rathered had lessons. Only 2 of the maths teachers where up to par, namely Sylwia was excellent!

It is a ok college, great for people who want to do a degree in art,it or business but needs some help giving important information to the parents about important things happening in the college

Lovely people we had a great tour today. I'm looking forward to my daughter coming here

If I could I would give them zero stars. I send them and e-mail with few questions and till today I haven't got an answer back. If you treat potential students this way just close the school down.

I studied Health and social care there as one of my a levels. My coursework was marked okay, 63 or 83 marks. I can't actually remember anymore. And that was by the head of the department, someone who should know how to mark properly and keep their students work secure. But when it was sent off for proper marking, it had dropped by twenty marks. So either she severely overmarked it or lost some of my work. After that, any motivation I had left had been vapourised and second year was almost pointless. If the teachers didn't actually care about my work then what was the point? Still managed to pass in my results though, so now I never have to deal with that again. The only good teachers I ever had there was Gemma S, Kelly D and Paul T, and they all left haha... admittedly, Gemma was having a baby though

It is a good college with good staff on hand, to assist young people. Not to mention the wide range of facilities open to it
