Lovely to be back Chichester College to celebrate their 60th anniversary. A retro meal of prawn cocktail, chicken Kiev and baked Alaska brought back memories. The students were as brilliant as always.

I visited the beautiful West Thames College yesterday, hosted by Tracy Aust. It is an inspiring campus with a lovely old house and well planned modern buildings surrounding it - and judged outstanding by Ofsted. Hounslow Council has a great asset.

I enjoyed visiting Bradford College today for their annual strategic conversation. It was great to see the recovery from some challenges a few years ago. It is an inspiring place for students to learn.

My second Yorkshire visit was to Craven College, celebrating 200 years in Skipton. Lovely facilities for students, & a strong employer link to local land based employers. A great turnaround led by Anita Lal their principal. Glad to see them doing so well.

Wonderful to be at Sunderland College and now listening to Roger Cotes focusing on the way colleges are delivering the five government missions Department for Education

Yesterday I visited NCDOfficial. A beautiful college serving Durham & beyond. It has significant HE as well as FE programmes & has invested in some state of the art equipment, particularly in engineering. Great employer partnerships Thank you to Andy Broadbent for hosting me.

It was a lovely evening and delicious food. I can highly recommend Senator Greg Leding
