Shipley College is gearing up for an exciting day of competitive gaming as it hosts one of the region’s top student Esports tournaments on March 28th. The event will bring together talented players from colleges across the UK to compete in popular titles such as Rocket League and Valorant.

Last week the Department of Access to Further Learning and Work took part in Industry Skills Week. As with all other departments across the college this is a pivotal event designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application.

The college is proud of the diversity of its staff and students. With February being the LGBTQIA+ and History month in the UK, this was a perfect time to celebrate with our annual Shipley College Pride event.

Shipley College’s Open Day on the evening of 5th March 2025 exceeded all expectations, setting a new record for attendance and applications.
