ABOUT ACTIVATE LEARNING
1
WELCOME TO YOUR ACTIVATE
LEARNING COLLEGE
Welcome to Banbury and Bicester College and to discovering
the opportunities that lie ahead of you when you join an Activate
Learning college.
Activate Learning is a progressive education
group made up of schools, colleges, a training
company and commercial learning companies.
What we all have in common is a clear mission
to transform lives through learning. So if you are
ambitious for a successful future and ready to
work hard, then we would love to talk to you.
By joining an Activate Learning college you
will benefit from a unique approach to learning
that is rooted in a deep understanding of how
you learn best. We adapt to suit our learners’
individual preferences and create the right
environment to motivate them and help them
overcome traditional barriers to learning. This
means that they become confident learners
who can then take charge of their lives and
futures.
That is the transformational power of learning
which drives us and which attracts so many
people to learn with us every year.
We have strong connections to our local
business communities and we work with them
to co-create learning programmes that focus
on the skills and attributes that are in demand.
Our teams combine expertise in teaching and
learning with real industry experience. This
combination creates relevant and engaging
learning experiences which give our learners
the edge when it comes to taking the next step
into higher education or employment.
Over the last year we have developed a new
career pathways concept, which provides every
learner with a personalised route to achieving
their ambitions and learning goals. At the start
of your learning journey, we will work with you
to understand what you want to achieve and
together create a programme to get you there.
We have also been working with like-minded
colleges across the country to develop an
innovative learning company model, which
immerses learners in real-life business
environments. This approach develops the
industry-specific technical skills alongside the
softer skills that employers are looking for.
As you read this guide I hope that you will
discover more about our approach to delivering
an experience that goes ‘further than education’
and feel inspired to begin your learning journey
with us.

YOUR FUTURE STARTS HERE
INSIDE
Welcome to the Banbury and Bicester College guide to
full-time learning programmes for 2015-16.
4
I am delighted that you’re starting to plan your
route to a successful future and that you’re
considering taking your next step with Banbury
and Bicester College.
We are the leading local provider of post-16
vocational education, offering students an
alternative route to university and employment.
Our career pathways are designed in
partnership with employers to ensure that
students develop the technical and softer
skills required for success. It’s an approach
highlighted by Ofsted in 2014, which
recognised that links with employers leads
to learners gaining good entrepreneurial and
employability skills.
The inspection team also noted that
“classrooms and workshops buzz with
activity” supported by the use of new, digital
technologies.
Over the last year we have developed our
learning company model to embed commercial
enterprise activities and client-facing projects
into the learning experience. In hospitality and
catering this means that students get involved
in all aspects of running the college’s cafes and
restaurants and also provide external catering
services. Students in hair and beauty progress
to work in our commercial salon, run in
partnership with the award-winning Francesco
Group. This approach is already supporting
student progression, with students finding
employment with our partners on completion of
their studies.
It’s an exciting time to be joining Banbury and
Bicester College, where a £6m investment has
created new, state-of-the-art facilities for media
and motor vehicle programmes. These new
buildings complement the recently refurbished
creative arts centre to provide contemporary
and engaging learning environments.

WHY CHOOSE AN ACTIVATE
LEARNING COLLEGE?
TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN
At Activate Learning our aim is to go ‘further than education’. That
means pushing the boundaries of traditional education to give our
students new opportunities and experiences that will equip them to
succeed.
SO, WHY CHOOSE US?
LEARNING COMPANIES
We launch real businesses – we call them
learning companies – in our colleges where
students gain professional experience, skills
and qualifications.
Learning companies demonstrate the impact
and relevance of what you learn because you
put new skills into practise straight away and
learn from the experience.
Learning companies at Banbury and Bicester
College include:

The Cherwell Learning Company

MOT test centre – coming soon
ENTERPRISE
The skills of enterprise are highly valued
in today’s global marketplace. Employers
want people who can think creatively, build
relationships through teamwork and adapt
quickly to change. Few people have a career
for life these days. More typically people
have three or four careers in a lifetime and
an increasing number create their own
employment by turning entrepreneur.
At Activate Learning we also value enterprise
and have shaped our curriculum so that it
sits at the heart of what we do. This includes
providing students with commercial, clientfocused (enterprise) activities that stretch their
skills and expose them to new situations. We
are one of the members of the Gazelle Colleges
Group, a network of colleges which promote
and develop enterprising and entrepreneurial
mindsets and behaviours in their students.
CAREER PATHWAYS
Don’t just join a course, join a career pathway –
your career pathway. We want to provide every
student with a clear line of sight to employment.
That means understanding what you want to
achieve and setting out a plan to get there. We
develop pathways tailored around your learning
goals and career aspirations and we create
them in partnership with you so that you feel
empowered to achieve them.
EMPLOYABILITY BUILT-IN
We work with employers to make sure that
our learning programmes meet their needs.
This helps to reduce the skills gap between
education and employment and means that our
students are in demand. During your studies
you will take part in work experience, hear from
visiting speakers and work on live projects set
by employers that reflect issues found in the
real world. Our partnerships with employers
mean that you start to build important contacts
before you finish your studies – and it means
some of our students are offered their first step
on the career ladder as soon as they complete
their qualification.
Our students are ‘born digital’ and we want
them to take leading-edge digital skills into
the workplace. That’s why we have invested in
learning zones fully-equipped with digital and
mobile technology like ipads and internet TV.
It’s also why we embed digital technologies
like Google Apps and social media into the
way that we deliver our learning. Our approach
has been recognised by Ofsted and is seen as
good practice by leading national bodies such
as City and Guilds.
INDUSTRY STANDARD FACILITIES
Don’t just learn the theory – get hands on and
develop your practical skills in our industry
standard workshops and facilities. Whether it’s
fashion, catering, sport and fitness, hair, beauty,
engineering or childcare, we have got oncampus facilities that mirror those found in the
workplace. We are investing in new facilities all
the time, to make sure we keep pace with the
changing requirements of industry.
THE WHOLE JOURNEY
By joining an Activate Learning college, you
are not just joining one organisation but a
powerful network of schools, colleges and
training providers. We work in partnership
with leading local universities to offer higher
education courses, meaning you can
progress from school leaver to undergraduate
within the same learning environment. Our
relationship with Activate Enterprise, the largest
apprenticeship provider in the Thames Valley,
provides students with excellent routes into
apprenticeship training and employment. And
with organisations specialising in key growth
areas – such as science, engineering and the
creative industries – you can find the expertise
you need within the group.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR LEARNING
There are no limits to your learning. Every one of us can learn
something new – as long we feel motivated and have the right
environment and support.
Our learning philosophy believes in the limitless
capacity of the brain. It’s just like any other
muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it
gets.
However, few of us will make the effort to
learn something if we don’t see the point.
Motivation is essential, which is why our
learning experiences focus on putting theory
into practice.
Practicing a new skill in a realistic business
or industry setting immediately helps you to
understand its impact and relevance. And it
means you can tweak your approach the next
time you do it, based on what did or didn’t
work.
Our approach to your learning
Motivation aside, our emotions are the biggest
factor in enabling or preventing us from
learning. If we have had negative experiences
of education, we can immediately put up
barriers when faced with what seems like a
similar situation. It can end up feeling like we
can’t learn, when in reality our emotions just
won’t let us.
Our teaching teams understand how the
brain and emotions work together so that
our experience and understanding can help
everyone to fulfil their potential.
Find out more by visiting us and speaking to
our existing students at one of our open events.

Pole position for motorsport career
And just one year after graduating, Kieran is now
employed full time at the Chocolate Academy at
world-renowned expert chocolatiers Barry Callebaut in
Banbury.
Ashley Jones always dreamed of a career in motorsport.
Having completed his GCSEs he joined the twoyear Extended Diploma in Motorsport Engineering at
Banbury and Bicester College and is now in his third
year of an apprenticeship with Prodrive.
He said: “Last year I was lucky enough to join the team
for World Endurance Championship, travelling all over
the world as part of the pit crew. The atmosphere at the
races is just amazing and to get that kind of experience
as an apprentice is incredible. I would be happy doing it
all the time.”
SHOP OPENED BY
FOUNDATION STUDENTS
CREATIVE ARTS SHOWCASE
Creative Arts students took their work out into the local
community as part of a month-long creative showcase.
The event included pop-up shops, community knitting
events and exhibitions at venues across Banbury town
centre.
Foundation Studies students opened The Shop on the
Banbury campus, providing other students and staff
with snacks, stationery and other college essentials.
The Shop gives students experience of a live retail
environment where they can develop essential customer
service skills.
STUDENTS PERFORM AT THE MILL
Performing arts students took to The Mill to stage their
end of year show, all written, staged and performed by
the students. The performing arts course is now run in
partnership with The Mill, offering students access to all
areas of theatre management.
GRADUATE SALON OPENS
The Graduate Salon, run in partnership with Francesco
Group, launched at the Banbury campus. The salon is
now providing employment for our first graduate stylists.
In the driving seat
Natalie Green is following her passion for cars with a
three-year training programme at Mercedes Benz.
Natalie joined Banbury and Bicester aged 14, spending
a day a week at the college’s motor vehicle centre while
studying other subjects at school.
Recipe for success
When twenty-two year old Kieran Shaw decided on a
career as a chef, he couldn’t envisage that in just a few
years he would be a guest speaker on a cruise to Africa
– as an expert chocolatier.
Kieran completed the Professional Chef’s Diploma
Level 3 at Banbury and Bicester College in 2013. The
three-year full time course not only helped him hone
his cooking skills, but developed other skills needed
for successful employment, such as teamwork,
management, maths and IT.
After completing her GCSEs, she joined the college fulltime and achieved the Level 2 Diploma in Motor Vehicle
Maintenance in June 2014. Natalie has now joined
Mercedes Benz where she works as a technician at the
company’s state-of-the-art facilities in Kidlington. At the
end of the programme, Natalie will become a fullytrained Mercedes Benz and Smart technician.

EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS
As well as the full-time learning programmes in this guide,
Activate Learning colleges deliver: apprenticeships, universitylevel education, pathways for international students, Traineeships,
and English, maths and ESOL (English for speakers of other
languages).
APPRENTICESHIPS
If you want to go straight into the world of work,
why not start an apprenticeship programme?
Our apprenticeships are run by Activate
Enterprise, which is the business-to-business
division of the Activate Learning group.
Being an apprentice allows you to learn on
the job, build up knowledge and skills, gain a
nationally-recognised qualification and earn
money – all at the same time.
As with any other training path there is clear
progression from intermediate (Level 2) and
advanced (Level 3) apprenticeships to higher
apprenticeships, which are degree-level
equivalent qualifications.
Apprentices are employed and paid by their
company and spend one or two days a week
at the college learning extra skills, including
English, maths and IT. Some apprenticeships
are delivered entirely in the workplace.
Activate Enterprise works with a wide network
of companies across the region to offer
apprenticeship training in:

Your interview
We interview all of our full-time applicants, as
we want to get to know you and hear about
your chosen career pathway. It also gives you
the chance to ask any further questions and
make sure it is the right pathway for you.
Extract from a Learner Journey
The interviewer wanted to know what I enjoyed
and took me through the personality inventory
I had been sent and had completed earlier.
During the interview I really felt listened to and,
by the end of it, I was clear about my career
path.
There was no pre-determined programme, but
a series of steps which I could take to obtain a
Level 3 qualification. The course was designed
around me.
Employers were involved in setting our
assessments and we were increasingly learning
theory at home and applying the knowledge in
the classroom – flip learning. Enterprise weeks
were completed with a variety of curriculum
areas, not just my own, to improve multidisciplinary team working.
During the summer break I continued to work for
my learning company and helped the college
to recruit new students. I never anticipated that I
would develop so much self-belief.
I’m still following my learning journey … who
knows where it will ultimately lead. What I do
know is that there is no limit to what I can
achieve, provided I make the effort.

ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION
If you’re 19 years old or above and you want to go to
university, an Access to HE programme is the way
forward.
It is a Level 3 qualification that gives you the points you
need to get into university-level education.
With an Access programme you choose from the
following pathways:
»»
»»
Nursing and Healthcare Professions
Teaching
However, these Access pathways do not only lead to
degrees in these subjects, they can open the doors
to a wide variety of different degree courses such as
social work, business, youth and community work and
paramedics.
The qualification is equivalent to three A-levels, which
means you achieve in one year what A-level students
achieve in two years!
WHY STUDY HERE?
PARTNERSHIPS – we have a very close relationship
with Oxford Brookes University, one of the top universities
in the country.

right here?
