Frequently Asked Questions

Q Can I come and visit?


A Visitors are always welcome. If you think you would like to come to one of the Trust's colleges or schools, ask to come to a visitors' day. You will be able to take a good look around, ask lots of questions and get to know us. If we think it is the right place for you, and you agree, we will ask you to fill in an application form. You will be invited to stay at the college for a few days to see if you like being a student. We will get to know you and then decide together if a Ruskin Mill Trust college or school is the right move for you.
