Principal’s Welcome

Tony Warren, College Principal

RNIB College Loughborough is about helping you to learn the skills to reach your goals.

We are a small, friendly college that welcomes people with a wide range of disabilities from many social and ethnic backgrounds.

Our aim is to help you make the most of your potential.

We share a campus with the mainstream Loughborough College which means the range of subjects we can offer goes from Foundation Learning all the way to A Levels or equivalent. We have a flexible curriculum and will agree an individual programme for you based on your needs and goals.

The College is an amazing place, we were so lucky to find it

We are experts at what we do. Our staff are highly skilled at meeting your needs and our buildings and facilities are second to none. Ofsted rate us as one of the top specialist colleges in the country and our learners have a big say in how the College is run.

98% of College learners agreed or strongly agreed that the teaching at the RNIB College is good

Younger learners typically aged 16-21 come to the College funded by the Young People's Learning Agency (YPLA) and are usually looking for the next stage in their education, a way of entering employment or a way of learning to live independently.

We also offer programmes for adult learners aged 18-63, who are unemployed and looking for help in gaining employment. These are very intensive employment orientated courses funded through the Jobcentre Plus (J.C.P.) or Residential Training Unit (R.T.U.).

Our website will provide you with a flavour of life here at the College. To find out more you can attend one of our visit days held throughout the year. This will give you the opportunity to see for yourself our modern, purpose built facilities, discuss your options with our staff and talk to some current learners.

I hope to be able to welcome you to the College and wish you well with your future decisions and career.

Tony Warren, Principal
