Colleges offer lifeline to beleaguered Newton Rigg students
11 February 2021 |
Two colleges are hoping to sustain land-based education in Cumbria
Two Cumbrian colleges are currently in talks to offer a lifeline to students at Newton Rigg which faces permanent closure this year.
Aspects of Myerscough College and Ullswater Community College s school provision could be extended to provide agriculture and animal management programmes.
Ullswater is the biggest feeder high school for land-based education to the Newton Rigg campus, offering Level 2 (GCSE equivalent) programmes in Animal Studies and Agriculture.

More than 500 students and apprentices attend but the FEC said most courses and training could be found elsewhere. Owner Askham Bryan College in York plans to sell the site when it closes in July.

Our financial partners, who share our commitment to Newton Rigg’s future, will now seek to purchase the campus from Askham Bryan thus facilitating our 3-5-year strategy: A new dawn of Newton Rigg-led training a
