At Worksop College, we are proud to welcome pupils from all over the world. We have six boarding houses, each home to a mix of day pupils, boarders, British pupils, and international pupils. This diverse environment gives everyone the chance to work on their English language skills and connect with peers from all walks of life. We are non-academically selective, focusing on the whole person. Whether it's developing skills on the golf course, pursuing passions in the arts, or excelling in the classroom, this is a place where pupils can discover what they truly love to do and grow in every aspect of their lives.

Our Location
Our 350-acre site borders the National Trust’s Clumber Park, offering pupils miles of scenic walking and cycling trails right on our doorstep. While we enjoy the tranquillity of our rural setting, we’re only 40 minutes from the vibrant cities of Sheffield, Nottingham, and Lincoln. And with London just a 90-minute train ride away, international travel couldn’t be easier.
Being Away from Home
We understand that being away from home can present its challenges, which is why our pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do. Each pupil is supported by a dedicated network, including a Houseparent, Assistant Houseparent, and a tutor with whom they have weekly check-ins to ensure their wellbeing and academic progress.
For those who need a little extra support, our on-site Wellbeing Hub offers a safe and welcoming space, staffed by qualified mental health practitioners who are always available to lend a helping hand and a listening ear. In addition, our Health Care Centre is staffed by practitioner nurses 24 hours a day, ensuring that pupils have access to medical care whenever they need it.
