Our Locations
Grantham College is a small general further education college based on three sites in the town of Grantham.
We offer provision from entry level to higher education in a broad range of subject areas. We are recognised as a ‘Good’ quality provider by Ofsted and our student accommodation was graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. We are also financially strong and recognised as having ‘Good’ financial health by the DfE.
The College was established in 1948 and had 48 students on predominately engineering provision. Now, 77 years later, we support closer to 3000 people each year to improve their skills. Engineering provision is still important to us and the local economy and our apprenticeship provision is a key part of what we do. Our vocational provision meets local and national skills needs, those identified by the Greater Lincolnshire Local Skills Improvement Plan and those sectors identified in the recent Industrial Strategy.
Grantham College has developed its Higher Education facilities and breadth of provision in recent years opening a University Centre in Elsham House in 2019 and the Institute of Technology in 2022 in Stonebridge House. The College is proud to protect these historic assets by bringing them into use to support the next generation to acquire the higher level skills needed by the local economy. Our aim is to offer a high quality, value for money and accessible academic option to develop and retain the higher level skills that the local area needs.
The College is a franchise partner of Lincoln Bishop University and delivers university level courses.
The College also works with the University of Lincoln and other local colleges as part of the Lincolnshire Institute of Technology.
