Celebrating the heritage of the Paget Road campus

As we look ahead to the opening of the new campus at the City Learning Quarter in Wolverhampton City Centre, we also bid farewell to our Paget Road campus, in Compton.

The campus originally opened in 1962 as Wulfrun College and has played a significant role in the education of local people for over 60 years.

The opening of the new campus will mark the start of a new chapter for the college and we are looking forward to building on the legacy of Paget Road and continuing to educate and train thousands more students and apprentices in the years to come.

As we look ahead to the opening of the new City Learning Quarter, we also bid farewell to our Paget Road campus. Originally opened in 1962 as Wulfrun College, the Paget Road campus has long been a cornerstone of further education in the local community.

For over six decades, it has served as a place of learning, development, and achievement, leaving a lasting impact on both students and staff alike. As we move forward, we carry with us the legacy of Paget Road, grateful for its contributions to our educational journey.
