Our Mission

To promote lifelong learning, equality and diversity within a residential setting



Message from the Principal
 

Picture of the gardensSince August 2003 I have been in post as Principal of Wedgwood Memorial College and would like to take this opportunity to share with you information about the College and what we can offer.

Most importantly I believe that the College plays an important role in offering residential learning opportunities for adults and young people from all kinds of educational and social backgrounds.

Young People from Stanley Head Outdoor Centre
The College has offered courses for adult learners since it opened in 1945.

Today we continue to deliver a variety of courses whereby people can explore and learn about subjects that they are interested in.

We work in liaison with Stanley Head Outdoor Centre to offer courses for young people from thirteen to nineteen.

We are a small community, with comfortable accommodation, good food and staff that are committed to the College and its students.

We have very attractive grounds providing the right atmosphere in which to relax, talk to others or just to think.
