Coming to New College
enabled me to meet lots of
new people outside my
secondary school

"The New College environment is very
welcoming and the positivity of the
teaching staff has made me look
forward to coming to college
everyday. The passion that the
teachers hold for their subjects has
motivated me for the past two years
and not only have they taught me what
to learn, but also how to learn."

Whilst at New College I received
lots of support from Teachers if I
ever struggled with concepts. I
liked how there is a wide variety of
places to study, the Starbucks on
site was also a great bonus


Enrichment Activities

Super Curricular Activities
Our super curricular sessions enable students to develop a greater understanding of the subjects in which they have enrolled. Within these sessions they will often cover a wide variety of topics focusing on areas that may not be included in their course specifications, helping students develop their understanding of their subjects and the wider reading required.
Leadership & Life Experiences
Developing skills and experiences that build character as well as providing valuable experiences are fundamental to personal development. You'll have a wide variety of experiences to take part in including Dragons Den Enterprise, NHS Values, and Sports Leaders. Popular activities also include the Turing Scheme and Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, both of which are widely recognised in the world of work and held with high regard.
Competitive sport
Incorporated within our enrichment programme are a range of competitive sport programmes. By enrolling on to these programmes you will represent the college within the chosen sports and have the opportunity to compete against other teams from across the North of England. Each of the following competitive sports also has dedicated time allocated within your timetable to take part in training and competitive fixtures:
Clubs & Societies
Participating in one of our clubs and societies is a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends. Here at New College we have over 30 separate clubs and societies for you to participate in including LGBTQ+ Group, Darts, Esports, Feminist Group, STEM Club and the Legal Debate Club, with many more being planned and developed throughout the year.
