First MOT due after 4 years? The first case discovered on the MTS! The driver brought the vehicle in for testing 3 years after registration. The Tester had to send the driver away for a further year. Has the government already made up their mind? #MOTJuice #motsdomatter

Just before Christmas @ExeterCollege had a full Ofsted inspection. At the end of the week, we became the 1st College to be rated as both ‘outstanding’ & secure the top grade ‘strong’ in the new enhanced framework. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this remarkable result!

Today we had our Faculty away day. I think the video of our team sums up the culture we have here to take our students learning to the max. The team are busy developing a POS for study skills, finance skills & progression that link to curriculum. #Intent #opportunities

We launched our new Automotive Regional Employer Network Group last night at our @ExeterCollege employer event. A chance for Automotive Light, Heavy and Body Repair companies to share their challenges and opportunities. There were some great thoughts #Intent #Collaboration
