Sunderland College, officially City of Sunderland College,[1] is a further education and higher education college based in Sunderland, North East England. The enrolment includes around 6,300 part-time learners and approximately 4,800 full-time students.[2] A report following a January 2010 Ofsted inspection awarded the school a Grade 2 (good) that included a Grade 1 (outstanding) on 3 inspection criteria.[2] The college is a member of the Collab Group of high performing schools.[3]
About
The college is a multi-centre establishment, with three campuses throughout North East England, these are Bede Campus, City Campus, and Washington Campus. In addition to Hartlepool Sixth Form.
History
Hartlepool Sixth Form merged with Sunderland College in September 2017, and in March 2019 Northumberland College merged with Sunderland College. This created Education Partnership North East, one of the largest college groups in the country.
Bede Campus
The college's Bede Campus, which is situated close to Sunderland City Centre on Durham Road (A690), is in the buildings of the former Bede School which began as Sunderland Higher Grade School in 1890 (near the West Park, now the site of Sunderland Civic Centre). In 1905 the school was renamed Bede Collegiate School, with separate Boys and Girls' Schools, and in 1927 the foundation stones were laid for new school buildings on Durham Road, current site of Bede Campus of Sunderland College. Following the 1944 Education Act the two schools became Grammar Schools: the Girls' School had around 500 girls in the 1950s, and by the 1960s the Boys' School had over 900 boys. In 1971 Bede School became a co-educational non-selective Comprehensive School, closing in 1991 a year after celebrating its centenary. Both the Boys' and Girls' Schools of the original school and the successor Comprehensive School were referred to, locally, as Bede School or 'The Bede'.
Bede Campus is the specialist centre for health and care, digital, A-Levels, sports and visual and performing arts courses.
It is home to a dedicated sixth form for academic study, science labs, health simulation ward, digital suite, Sports Academy and £11 million Arts Academy. The campus also includes a Goals Soccer Centre with all-weather 3G 5-a-side pitches.
City Campus
In Sunderland, the £30 million City Campus has equipment for vocational study from specialist construction and engineering workshops to a simulated aircraft for Travel and Tourism students. In addition there is commercial hair, barbering and beauty salons, a travel agency, restaurant and kitchens.[citation needed]
Washington Campus
In September 2006, Sunderland College opened its new £10 million Washington campus on Stone Cellar Road in Washington, Tyne and Wear. It is on the site of the former Usworth School just off the A195 near the junction with the A194(M) in Usworth and Concord.
Facilities
Each of the college's centres has its own Learning Centre where students can have access to networked computers, borrow books from the library, or a quiet place to study. Refectories, cafes, shops and common rooms are all available at each of the campuses.
There is also access to the media facilities and libraries of the University of Sunderland
