Leeds City College Reviews
3 (1 review)
Some amazing teachers and hidden gems in this college. However, too disorganised and unstructured. Also too many teachers needing to be changed which causes so much disruption. A-Level Psychology department for instance, too many teachers sacked and hired as they could not do the job properly - it is in shambles as of now.
