The college is required to collect some basic information to enrol new students and create an Individualised Learner Record (ILR). During the application process potential learners are asked to confirm legal name, date of birth, nationality, national insurance number and legal sex. The Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) requires us to record sex only as either male or female.

We recognise that this basic information is limited and might not accurately reflect the identity of our learners. The college celebrates individuality and is committed to fairness, inclusion and respect for all. We provide opportunities during enrolment and induction for learners to share additional information about themselves in order to best respect and support their identities. This includes (but is not limited to) local college systems that reflect a learner's identity, such as name, pronouns and identification cards. However, alongside this, all further education providers are required to record legal sex in our returns to the ESFA.
