Our mission is to inspire positive change through adult education. Working closely with our community, voluntary and employer partners, we will provide excellent teaching and learning on our campus-based in the grade 1 listed Wentworth Castle and surrounded by 500 acres of National Trust gardens and parkland.

As a residential campus we are able to be extremely flexible in the way we offer our programmes, enabling access to adults that may need to attend weekends, evenings or in a blended approach to work around families, jobs and life in general.

We are very proud of our excellent achievement rates across the provision, and of the excellent feedback, we get from our students. You can access our studies stories and read about our impact at Our Performance - Northern College

Northern College is a fantastic place to work. It offers so much more than you might expect from further education. We attract adults from across the region with our residential accommodation, amazing location, excellent teaching and learning, and focused support for students. 

Our students tell us about the impact we have on them – hear from Bobby about her journey.

We hope you are as excited as we are about the potential here at Northern College and we look forward to receiving your application.
