Great Yarmouth town is steeped in history. From the days as a setting for Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield to the latest multi-million pound re-development, there is a great deal to discover in this heritage town. We first opened our doors to students nearly 60 years ago and much has changed since then. However our dedication to students and the pursuit of educational excellence remains the same.
