Principal’s Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Reaseheath today to enjoy our much-loved Family Festival event, which we have held on our beautiful campus for many years.

We offer a wide variety of land-based and technical courses here at Reaseheath College and University Centre, many of which will be displayed today with lots of activities for you and your family to enjoy.

I, like many others, have been particularly looking forward to this year’s Family Festival event, after having to postpone it for the past two years due to covid.

The event this year is also particularly exciting as we are currently celebrating our 100th anniversary, and our rich history dating back to 1921 is a key theme for today.

I hope that you enjoy discovering more about Reaseheath’s past, present and future and how we have developed into the progressive and innovative campus we have today.

Thank you for visiting us and I hope that you and your family enjoy your day.

Marcus Clinton Principal and CEO
