Hull College

Its main campus is located at Queen's Gardens, with satellite sites at Cannon Street and the Steve Prescott Centre.

The college was awarded a 'Good' Ofsted rating following a full enhanced skills inspection that took place in late October 2023.

[1] In the report, inspectors rated a range of provision types with Personal Development and Adult Learning Programmes judged to be 'Outstanding' and Education Programmes for Young People, Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Provision for Learners with High Needs, Apprenticeships, and Leadership and Management all given a rating of 'Good'.

The site is also home to the Hull School of Art and Design, which was founded in 1861 and currently offers higher education courses.

[4] Further education courses in Art and Design were previously offered at the college's former Park Street site until June 2016, when the building was sold off.

Housing drama, media and musical courses, it has a 200-seat theatre allowing performing arts students to put on shows for the general public.

Plans included the demolition of the main tower block and the provision of modern facilities that would house workshops, laboratories, kitchens, salons and a sports centre.

[13] In January 2016, it was revealed that the college had 'pulled out' of buying the campus for unknown reasons,[14] although it is suggested that very poor student recruitment was a factor.

[26] Under the management of Gray, the college achieved its first Ofsted 'Good' rating since 2015 following a full enhanced skills inspection in October 2023.

[1] The college offers courses in the following subjects: Art and Design, Business, Catering and Hospitality, Construction, Criminology, Digital Technology and IT, ESOL, Early Years, Electrical, Engineering, English and maths, Esports, Foundation and SEND, Hair and Beauty, Health and Social Care, Motor Vehicle, Music and Performing Arts, Science, Sport and Uniformed Protective Services, Travel and Tourism and Welding and Fabrication.
