Welcome to North Warwickshire & Hinckley College North Warwickshire & Hinckley College is one of the largest and most successful colleges in the region. We offer brilliant teaching and learning, excellent work experience placements, and students' opportunities to develop independently.

Students' learning is enhanced through purpose-designed training areas and industry-specific equipment in CAD Engineering, Hospitality & Catering, Construction, and Electrical Installation. Our Creative Arts campus in Hinckley has the best facilities in the region. It offers students access to state-of-the-art Computing supported by industry-standard software and lecturing staff who are also skilled practitioners. Regional businesses have praised our Advanced Engineering Centre at the Nuneaton Campus and the Harrowbrook Construction Centre in Hinckley. Students can acquire traditional skills whist developing competencies in working with emerging technologies. All of our students have access to a wide range of support services, including advice on financial assistance. In January 2013, North Warwickshire & Hinckley College earned a place in national history as a newly federated college. We officially joined forces with South Leicestershire College and have been overseen by one principal since I was appointed joint Principal and Chief Executive in February 2013. This is only the second time two Further Education colleges have joined forces in this way. Having worked together successfully in the past, it made good sense to take that relationship one step further and form a Federation, a move that will allow us to expand our courses by sharing expertise and resources and improving our students' support. The government set out its definition of British Values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy. In 2014, the Department of Education published guidance on promoting British Values in schools to ensure young people leave school and college prepared for life in Modern Britain. At North Warwickshire & Hinckley College, we are dedicated to promoting values that ensure that our students develop a strong sense of social and moral responsibility. We prepare our students for life in Modern Britain by developing an understanding of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
