Bishop Auckland College’s Vision, Mission and Values

At Bishop Auckland College, we believe in creating positive change through education and learning. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower individuals, transform lives, and drive meaningful progress in our community and beyond.

To navigate the complexities of the education sector and address the ever-changing needs of both our students and local industries, we focus our efforts on our 5 Ps. These core values guide our strategy and ensure that we continue to deliver outstanding results for our students, staff, and partners.

The 5 Key Themes

People

We invest in our most important asset: our people. By developing a high-quality workforce, we ensure that our staff are equipped to support learners today and in the future. Their growth is central to our success.

Place

We strive to be the destination of choice for the people of South Durham. Our campus is a safe, inclusive space where learners can thrive. We are committed to making a positive impact on both our local community and the environment.

Partnerships

Collaboration is key. We work closely with organisations, communities, and industries to deliver an employer-led, learner-centred curriculum. These partnerships create transformative opportunities and ensure our learners are prepared for the real world.

Performance

Outstanding teaching, learning, and assessment are at the heart of what we do. We are committed to enabling positive progression for all learners, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to succeed in their careers and lives.

Pounds

Financial sustainability is crucial for continued growth and investment. By being financially responsible, we are able to reinvest in our staff, facilities, and resources to maintain the high standards of education and support we provide.
