About us
Brooklands College is a further education college that serves Weybridge and the wider Surrey community. It has two main campuses that are closely located to the town centres of Weybridge and Ashford, with very good local transport links and train links to London, Windsor and Guildford.
More than 3,000 students choose to study at the College each year and through the acquisition of skills and knowledge in a vocational context, they increase their life chances.
The College offers practical training for both professional development and further education in a wide range of courses and apprenticeships notably in STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Maths) including engineering, IT, Design, construction, and healthcare. It employs 270 staff and makes a significant contribution to the local Weybridge economy.
It allows local young people, adults and apprentices access to specialist training and vocational learning together with providing alternative education for 14–16-year-olds and specialist provision for those with moderate learning difficulties and disabilities.
The College has strong links with local schools and is also renowned for its high-quality provision, helping students with disabilities or special learning needs realise their full potential.
In 2021, Brooklands College, in partnership with Elmbridge and Runnymede Borough Councils launched the Youth Hub, a one stop shop of intensive employment and learning support for 16-24 years olds who are:
- Universal Credit Claimants
- Unemployed
- Facing redundancy
- Struggling to sustain employment.
The Youth Hub will continue to be a key part of the college site as well as play an integral part of the wider community; providing a much-needed resource to support young people into employment and/or education.

CASE STUDY:
CHERTSEY
St Peter’s Quarter in Chertsey will deliver an impressive development of 212 homes, in partnership with St Peter’s Hospitals and Surrey Boarders Partnership. Situated to the west of St Peter’s Hospital, the site will be transformed, creating a development of family homes set amongst attractive green open spaces that respect and enhance the adjoining Homewood Park.
The site has similarities to Brooklands in that Cala worked with a public sector institution to deliver housing on Green Belt land in order to fund significant improvements in this case to the NHS Trust Estate.
