The City of Hull and surrounding region is experiencing rapid and exciting change, which has the potential to transform opportunities for young people in the area. The College occupies a large university style campus on the eastern edge of the city. Although our primary focus is to serve students from secondary schools in the City of Hull, our strong reputation means that we also attract many students from the surrounding Holderness towns and villages.
Wilberforce College inspires learners to develop a passion for knowledge and love for learning. Our students receive a truly holistic education through an outstanding enrichment offer, including our upskilling programme, employability and workplace links, trips and visits, Student Council and the Excellence High Flyers pathway. The College has received several accolades in recognition of it’s outstanding work. In September 2020 we were awarded Microsoft Showcase College status making us the only sixth form in the UK to have achieved this high standard. In addition to this, we are the only educational establishment in Hull and the East Riding to be named as a Demonstrator College by the DfE. This has enabled our staff to use their expertise to support and train other teachers, locally and nationally, in delivering digital learning. In 2018, the College was awarded Maths Centre for Excellence status by the DfE. As one of 21 centres awarded this, we demonstrated the commitment, capacity and system leadership to drive innovation and improvement both at Wilberforce College and beyond.
