About Folkestone College

Our provision is responsive to local employer and stakeholder needs. We have more than 700 students each year accessing career relevant full-time programmes of study, part-time courses, or College-based learning as an Apprentice.

We are very proud to be able to allow our students access to outstanding, quality specialist industry, standard facilities. Our highly experienced industry-professionals ensure our students have the opportunity to reach their potential, whether developing their technical skills and knowledge through to changing their career pathway.

Folkestone College is recognised as a provider of quality sector-specific Social Action projects, which enables our students to engage with their local community in the heart of Folkestone and Hythe.

Our vision includes providing education and training for creative and business-minded students joining our Junior College, which is our specialist two-year provision for year 10 and 11 students, and provides specialist facilities and outstanding resources that support shaping the future development of Folkestone College in ways that maximise the benefits of being part of the EKC Group. Our vision for Folkestone College is aligned to the goals of the group.
