When considered alongside the plans we have for development in Daventry, joining with our partners in the Daventry Learning Partnership, it is undeniable that we are embarking upon one of the most exciting periods in the College’s history. On every College site, we are aiming to provide unparalleled educational facilities of the highest quality for Northamptonshire’s learners, staff, employers and the local community. The Booth Lane/Lower Mounts buildings are destined to become a major asset which the College will deploy in striving towards the very highest standards in learning and skills development and in delivering a further education service of which Northampton and its people can be proud.”
