City and Islington College - Centre for Health, Social & Child Care 383 Holloway Road, London N7 0RN

"I do not recommend any students to go to city and islinton college. I am a student myself there, and I have been there for 4 years now. Intially, I thought that this college would be amazing, but its the opposite. Its not organised and some teachers dont teach as well. But aside from that there are quite a few teachers who outshine others. It is okay, I would say. In addition to this, another positive is security, security is good as they ensure that everyone is safe, and checking who enters the building."

"A nice small environment which brings students together, made amazing friends there, everyone’s so caring and kind hearted but some teachers don’t seem to care about students, don’t feel like students are given much a chance! Although on the other hand there were caring staff that were there for students when needed. If I didn’t meet the students I met then I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time at this college."

"As a student that struggled with mental health this school wasn't great, first of all after offering me counseling within the school and me turning it down (after years of counseling that had never helped me and only ended in me being too anxious to go) they then seemed to be quite ignorant later on towards my difficulties using that as a reason. I became too anxious to redo my GCSE English and asked to do functional for the time being, they were understanding. I was sick for 3 weeks which dented my attendance and towards the end of the year I was just feeling awful and really low which made my attendance about 65%- at which point(after previously being offered a place onto the next level) was told that I had too many red flags and that her idea of bad attendance was 80%.. am now still struggling to find a place somewhere- my tutor has not responded to any of my emails for a reference thus far. It was a nice environment but multiple things really dimmed the learning experience. All the exams were pure unorganized hell (and math teacher just vanished early on in the course). May have ruined my future. No proper art equipment(pencils that were decimated, water colour pallets coated with gunk, ink in plastic cups with no proper containers or ways to apply, you don't want to KNOW about the brushes). Misbehaving students were allowed to run a riot most of the time. Teachers that would have tantrums and act ridiculous. Making mentally ill students sit through mental health talks- triggering all sorts of nasty stuff. Friendly Environment most of the time. They gave out expired condoms/dams and lube."

"DO NOT ATTEND THIS COLLEGE!!! This college does well to advertise itself, although the IT department in particular was completely unorganised and awful at education the students. On the other hand there were a few exceptional teachers such as Tasmin Ahmad and Dave. My time at City and Islington College would have been much better if we were to have a different head of department other than Andrew Allen"
