Each College – Bridgwater, Cannington, Strode and Taunton – within the group will remain committed to the delivery of inspirational teaching, learning and skills development, creating a culture of safety and inclusivity. The offer at each of the campuses, will remain unchanged with students at each of the Colleges, continuing their studies on the same campus with the benefits that being part of a College Group will bring.

Each College within the Group will continue to build partnerships that positively impact students and their community. Partnering local employers, councils, and community organisations, each College will deliver education and skills training that is closely aligned with local needs and priorities, boosting social mobility and economic prosperity.

The proposed name of the newly formed College Group is University Centre Somerset College Group (UCS College Group). Adopting the University Centre Somerset name for the College Group is a deliberate step towards a bigger vision for our community. This evolution is crucial not only for its educational significance but also for the economic stimulation it promises to deliver to Somerset.
