A MESSAGE FROMOUR PRINCIPAL

OUR PRINCIPAL & CEO
DIANA BIRD

I have been involved with Shipley College for many years - this is my local college, and my local community, and I understand what is special about it. I couldn't be more proud of the work that the staff do to make sure that people where I live get the best opportunities and best education.

Our aim, always, is to provide valuable education and training for young people and for adults, that can transform lives, provide a clear line of sight to employment, strengthen communities and support economic growth.

We work hard to meet the skills requirements of the district - meaning we work closely with employers and local government to understand those needs and those sectors, and how our students can repeatedly be the next employees for those businesses.

The College is here for everybody, and we are proud of our inclusive and accepting culture, encouraging people of all backgrounds to take advantage of our unique facilities and knowledgeable tutors. We work hard to shine a spotlight on equality and diversity too, by marking awareness days, celebrating different religions and encouraging open discussion.



JOINING SHIPLEY COLLEGE MAKES YOU PART OF OUR HISTORY, AND PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. SOME MIGHT SAY, PART OF OUR FAMILY!
