It also has centres in Cannington, Yeovil, and Paignton. The college was founded in 1973, although the history of its predecessor institutions dates to 1891.
The college's 2006 Ofsted report stated that there were 15,801 students enrolled in the 2004-2005 period. It also gave an "Outstanding Grade 1" to all areas assessed.
