Our future plans

New look campus at Wellingborough takes shape Cladding work begins at the new look campus

£10 MILLION WELLINGBOROUGH CAMPUS REDEVELOPMENT The Bedford College Group has been awarded £7.5 million from SEMLEP's local growth fund in addition to the Group's own resources to redevelop Tresham College’s Wellingborough campus.

Opening to students in September 2020, the redeveloped campus, located in the heart of Wellingborough town centre, will enable 1,000 additional students to study locally. Not just young people but also adult students who want to expand their skills or change careers.

£4 MILLION ZOOLOGICAL EDUCATION CENTRE Shuttleworth College campus will host its official opening of its new Zoological Education Centre in Spring 2020.

Having enrolled its first students in September 2019, it includes an ‘Eden style’ biome with tropical rainforest setting, immersive bio-sphere and a wide range of species. Conservation and care are the key priority, enabling students to learn how to support and care for endangered species. The Centre will put Shuttleworth College firmly on the world map in terms of the unique education experience offered to students.
