Learning Difficulties at East Berkshire College
30-Mar-07, Windsor Express Article.

Last week, I attended the opening of East Berkshire College’s new campus building in St Leonard’s Road, Windsor.  Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh attended to officially open the building which will provide students and staff with state of the art teaching facilities and resources, and is fully accessible to disabled users.

The college is already regarded as one of our most successful: its students gain some of the best A Level marks in the country, with an above average 94% exam pass rate, and the new building and facilities can only help to enhance its reputation.

The guests at the opening were treated to a full tour of the new campus and I was delighted and encouraged to learn of the integration of a department for those with learning difficulties.  The bright, clean, modern campus has also really improved the look of the area and we should be proud of it.  I wish the staff and students every success with their education and look forward to hearing of their successes in the future!
