Today, the College is a mixed open access college hosting 1,200 full-time students, mostly aged 16-19, and with an annual turnover of £6.5 million.
The College moved from Leicester city centre to a new 12-acre purpose-built site in Hamilton, situated 3 miles to the northeast of the city, on the borders of Leicestershire in August 2009. In April 2020, it became one of three founding members of the Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust (BFMAT) in partnership with Coventry University.
The College offers a range of outstanding A-levels, vocational qualifications from entry level to level 3, and GCSEs in maths and English. It was awarded a Good grade 2 by Ofsted in October 2019. The college has also received the Gold Mental Health Award for Schools and is working towards the Artsmark standard.
Leicester city contains two Sixth Form Colleges, a large GFE, and a small number of specialist and school sixth form providers. The majority of new students come to Gateway College from local 11-16 schools, as well as from schools and colleges in the county and beyond, including independent schools. Gateway is the only Sixth Form College serving the north of the city and county.
