Who are we

Education Partnership North East (EPNE) is a dynamic partnership between Sunderland College, Hartlepool Sixth Form and Northumberland College.

We believe that culture and quality are equally important and as such place a high value on living and breathing our professional values. We are constantly striving to ensure that we are consistently authentic, respectful, innovative and ambitious for our students, people and partners.

Our people come to work every day to make a positive difference to our community of approx. 21,500 students. We are passionate about positively contributing to the social, economic and educational outcomes of our region.

Following the merger with Hartlepool Sixth Form and Northumberland College, we are now one of the largest college groups in the country. Our campuses span across Northumberland, Sunderland and Hartlepool; with a catchment area from Berwick-upon-Tweed to the Tees Valley. Our sector specialisms align to the key needs of the labour market and are embedded both in our pioneering curriculum development and our investment in world-class facilities that equip our students with the relevant skills for industry.

Our Vision and Values

Excellence at the heart of everything we do

To realise our vision we will excel in our pursuit of excellence to enable us to grow our student population and the College’s performance by uniting our people and culture and strengthening our reputation locally, regionally and nationally.

– In the top 25 Colleges nationally for financial health.

Our passion is our strength, we have demonstrated this continuously and this is why we will pursue our vision with enthusiasm and determination.
