Campus
Our Campus
Pennine Lancashire has some of the most beautiful landscape and scenery in all of the UK. Nelson and Colne College Sixth Form is situated at the gateway to the picturesque village of Barrowford, in the shadow of iconic Pendle Hill. It is an inspirational, semi-rural location which provides a perfect setting for education.
There are plenty of outside areas, with picnic-benches, which are green and tranquil. They are a particular favourite of our students when the weather is warm and sunny! We also have an extensive playing field which looks out over fields and across Pendle Water, which weaves around our site.
Our campus is purpose built, and lately improved thanks to a sizeable government investment in recent years. All of our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology and are designed to enhance teaching and learning.
Specialist vocational areas such as Sport, Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy and Catering have been well thought out, with a fantastic Sports Hall and gym, modern, airy salons and industry standard kitchens, with a successful commercial restaurant and bistro, Farringtons.
