Shrewsbury Colleges Group has been formed by the merger of Shrewsbury College of Arts & Technology and Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and was formally constituted on 1 August 2016. The merger permits the two colleges to focus wholly on what they do best: offer an exceptionally high performing Advanced Level center for academically motivated students at Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and a leading vocational center of excellence at Shrewsbury College. It also allows an increased concentrates on the development of much-needed Apprenticeships and Higher Apprenticeships. Shrewsbury Colleges Group will give students even greater flexibility with their programs and access to dedicated subject resources at several campus locations and is proud to offer the broadest and most flexible curriculum offer within Shropshire, comprising A Levels and vocational diplomas, with Apprenticeships and Higher Education qualifications as progression routes. Students still apply to each college and will ‘belong’ to each college community, as each college will retain their individual identities and characteristics.
