North Warwickshire and Hinckley College

Welcome to North Warwickshire & Hinckley College North Warwickshire & Hinckley College is one of the largest and most successful colleges in the region. We offer brilliant teaching and learning, excellent work experience placements and opportunities for students to develop independently.

Our excellent facilities, strong partnerships with major employers and universities, and excellent international relationships have helped make us a sought-after place to study for thousands of young people and adults.

Students’ learning is enhanced through purpose-designed training areas and industry-specific equipment in areas including CAD Engineering, Hospitality & Catering, Construction and Electrical Installation.

Our Creative Arts campus in Hinckley has the best facilities in the region and offers students access to state-of-the-art Computing supported by industry-standard software and lecturing staff who are also skilled practitioners.

Both our Advanced Engineering Centre at the Nuneaton Campus and the Harrowbrook Construction Centre in Hinckley have been praised by regional businesses. Students can acquire traditional skills whist developing competencies in working with emerging technologies.

All of our students have access to a wide range of support services including advice on financial assistance.

In January 2013, North Warwickshire & Hinckley College earned a place in national history as a newly federated college. We officially joined forces with South Leicestershire College and have been overseen by one principal since my appointment as joint Principal and Chief Executive in February 2013. This is only the second time two Further Education colleges have joined forces in this way. Having worked together successfully in the past, it made good sense to take that relationship one step further and form a Federation, a move which will allow us to expand our courses by sharing expertise and resources and improve support for our students.

The government set out their definition of British Values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy. In 2014, the Department of Education published guidance on promoting British Values in schools to ensure young people leave school and college prepared for life in Modern Britain.

At North Warwickshire & Hinckley College, we are dedicated to promoting values which ensure that our students develop a strong sense of social and moral responsibility. We prepare our students for life in Modern Britain by developing an understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

It is our aim that all North Warwickshire & Hinckley College students are able to contribute effectively to the wider community, using the skills and knowledge they have acquired during their time at North Warwickshire & Hinckley College. As well as being fully engaged in their learning experience, we want our students to become responsible and well-rounded individuals.

At North Warwickshire & Hinckley College students are actively encouraged to make independent choices with the knowledge that they are in a safe, secure and supportive environment.

North Warwickshire & Hinckley College has a robust anti-bullying culture and has in place a comprehensive Behaviour Policy that promotes achievement for all students.

We are conscious of major changes taking place in our local economies and the vital role that education can play. We believe that we can help local people, businesses and organisations to grow through learning and the acquisition of new skills and competencies.
