Chichester College

It is rated Outstanding by Ofsted but this college is anything but outstanding. If it was anywhere near that level they wouldn’t have had to shut down the music department and have numerous lecturers lose their jobs. Also I remember Music and Performing Arts wasn’t available on a school Taster Day for unexplained reasons. When I came for my first course interview, the man whose job was to inform the lecturers of my appointment unexpectedly went home. The workers are inconsistent and half the people in charge of courses don’t know what they’re doing. Before applying for Art, I was told by Progression + the course fee is 2 grand and I don’t have to apply for a student loan and don't have to pay the fee as long as I have a job and earn less than a certain amount otherwise I could pay monthly. They even said I can NOT apply for a loan for a Level 2 course. Recently it turned out from the Art department that the fee is 4 grand and the loan is mandatory employed or not, this means I don’t even know if the Art Department are right. Therefore in my opinion this college is not outstanding. It may be great, or amazing, the Music course was amazing but most of the people are unfocused, inconsistent and give misinformation by accident so sadly I would only rate it as good.

We went for a three course lunch in Restaurant 64 where catering students try out their newly acquired skills. Very pleasant meals, but you must book.

We went to Restaurant 64. The food was excellent. The service does need some attention to detail, some drinks never arrived and we didn't get any coffee at the end. Having said all that, it's very good value for the money and it does exist to train up the restaurant staff of the future.Went again, the service was much improved, a very pleasant evening.

Fantastic staff and the students too, I returned to college as a very mature student and have been made to feel very welcome by both, so thank you all!!

we are refitting / refurbishing the student accommodations. the second time round / this semester I mite add all looking good.so not a young student my self lolbut the place / college looks pretty amazingthe grounds are plenty full. no the place looks very good. OK I've star'd it high as we've all contributed on a good job. r@r.

Enjoyed lunch in Restaurant 64 and reunion with friends. Pleasant surroundings, well presented meal by catering students - much to commend even if parking was a little difficult to locate - that made easier by helpful reception lady

Restaurant 64 is based within Chichester college and is a fabulous place to eat , it is only open 1 evening a week for the dinner menu but I think it does 2 days a week for lunch time. It is served by the students who do an outstanding job, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone

My son has attended the last year of age 14-16 provision as a home educated student doing his Maths and English Gcse's alongside sports. The teachers have been fantastic. He often needs extra explanations and ample patience is given. They could see he needed extra support in one subject and provided it, that is something we fought for in school but that wasn't given. He still struggles sometimes but can cope with College unlike school. Thank you
