Thinking about the future? The opportunities are out there!

A fantastic evening at KC last night as over 80 students from Wootton Academy (Year 11) and Kimberley Sixth Form (Year 13) came together for a Trust event focused on degree apprenticeships.

Students had the opportunity to hear about the range of pathways available to them beyond school and sixth form, combining higher-level study with valuable workplace experience.

A big thank you to everyone involved in making the evening such a success and to our students for their enthusiasm, curiosity and ambition!

Our second Induction Day was just as jam-packed as yesterday's. Nearly 190 new Year 12s in to meet their form tutor and for sessions on everything from Personal Development to the Science of Learning to Scholarly Habits.

Of course, the real business kicks in on Monday when lessons start. We're really looking forward to seeing all of our students in together for the start of another year of studying, learning, and success.

Have a great weekend!

We have over 100 Year 12s on our "Kimberley Early Entry Programme" - preparing for applications to Oxbridge & other top universities.

As part of this we get guest speakers in for Q&As, and last week we were chuffed to have Baroness Amanda Spielman visit. She spoke about her varied career, how she came to be Chair at Ofqual and HMCI at Ofsted, and now a member of the House of Lords!

Lots of fantastic questions from students, and in-depth answers from Amanda!

A great story celebrating local heritage and one we are proud to have been part of!

Students from our college recently took part in a competition with London Northwestern Railway to help name a train running between Bedford and Bletchley. The winning name, “Brickfield Breeze”, was chosen to reflect Bedford’s rich brickmaking history.

The area was once home to one of the world’s largest brickworks, producing millions of bricks each year and playing a huge role in shaping the local community.

It’s fantastic to see our students contributing to something that recognises local history while being part of the region’s future transport network.

Well done to everyone involved, a brilliant achievement and a lasting legacy! 🚆

London Northwestern Railway (LNR) has named one of its trains in honour of Bedford’s historical roots, following a competition with Kimberley College.

Our Year 12 students from Kimberley 6th Form College took part in the Aveva Challenge in Cambridge this week.

We are really pleased to share that Kimberley students achieved 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, as judged by the expert panel.

Well done to everyone involved - a fantastic achievement!

We were delighted to welcome UCAS to Kimberley STEM College today, where they visited to film a case study showcasing the fantastic work happening across our college.

As part of the visit, filming captured our students in action, highlighting the practical skills and real-world experience our learners gain every day.

It was a great opportunity to shine a light on the dedication of our students and staff, and we’re excited to see the finished case study featured on the UCAS website.

A big thank you to UCAS for visiting and to everyone involved for making the day such a success!
