That belief drives and inspires our teaching, our staff, our students and the businesses we work with.

Yeovil College is celebrating its 130^th Birthday this academic year; it has been serving the community in and around Yeovil since 1887. The College was first formed when Somerset County Council began formally organising Science and Art classes in Yeovil. In 1947, the first Principal was appointed to lead Yeovil Technical College and when secondary education in the Yeovil Borough was reorganised in 1974, Yeovil College became one of the early tertiary colleges to be formed in England. 

Today, Yeovil College remains passionate about its role as a key provider of education and training in South Somerset and North and West Dorset. It remains committed to its role as a tertiary college for the whole community and currently supports around 5000 full and part-time students.
