All our achievement rates are well above the national average.  89.5% on our Access to Higher Education Diploma Courses and 94% on other courses.

5 Access students have won the national Helena Kennedy award for the barriers they have overcome.

The proportion of Merits and Distinctions on Access is 47%.

As a result of coming to Fircroft, those who answered the J2 Research survey 2019/2020 agreed their course and the college helped them to:

Pursue their goals and ambitions - 97%

Socialise, work and communicate with others - 89%

Protect themselves on-line and in real life - 6%

Keep themselves physically and mentally well - 92%

Our follow up survey shows:

Of those who gave J2 Research a destination:

25% are now in paid employment

17% are now in further or higher education

9% are now in voluntary work

17 of our 30 current Access to Higher Education students came through our own programmes including Pre-Access.

Nearly all Access to Higher Education achievers progress straight to university, usually to their first choice.
