New Skegness College Campus Opens Doors to Students
Skegness College has welcomed students to its new campus on Wainfleet Road for the very first time.
New and returning students were greeted with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony, officially marking their first day as the first cohort of the new development.
Jaydon, who studies plumbing, was the first student to step through the doors:
“This is a spectacular new campus for us to learn in! I’m excited to learn in the new workshop. It’s nice to see how the college has turned out.”
The new campus offers a variety of facilities purpose-built for vocational learning, including a care flat and hospital ward, a hairdressing and beauty salon, motor vehicle, plumbing, electrical and construction workshops, and business IT suites.
Morag Moore, Campus Director for Skegness College, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome so many students to Skegness College today. Seeing the awe on their faces as they walk through our brand new campus and take in their new learning environments has been a joy!
“It’s been an incredible journey to get here, and we’re thankful to everyone involved, from our developers Hobson & Porter to Connected Coast, as well as our amazing staff here at Skegness College and the wider TEC Partnership.”
Supported by £14 million funding through the Towns Fund, overseen by Connected Coast, the new campus is set to make a significant impact by providing accessible education opportunities in critical areas, including construction, hospitality, health and social care, and business.
Chris Baron, Chair of Connected Coast, said:
“It’s absolutely fantastic to see the new college opening its doors to welcome in students; this truly is the culmination of a long-held ambition for the board.
“We know that the new college is going to make a big impact in the town, allowing learners to access a diverse range of education and training opportunities in this modern and well equipped facility. I wish everyone who will be learning here the very best with their studies.”
With the development of the new campus, Skegness College has seen record-breaking enrolment numbers: a 50% increase in further education student numbers and a 125% increase in predicted numbers for adult students.
