Welcome to the This is Middlesbrough guide to local schools and colleges!
Middlesbrough has been a university town since 1992. The University of Teesside has more than 20,000 students, and a history dating back to 1930 as Constantine Technical College. The University of Teesside is internationally recognised as a leading institute for computer animation and games design and along with ARC at Stockton-on-Tees, Cineworld cinema in Middlesbrough, and the Riverside Stadium, hosts the annual Animex International Festival of Animation.
The university also houses Teesside Business School as well as other specialised Schools of Arts & Media, Computing, Health & Social Care, Science & Technology and Social Sciences & Law. During Middlesbrough's past the University, as Teesside Polytechnic, was a highly regarded institution for the teaching of such disciplines as chemical engineering. It has fared well as of late in the 2005 National Student Survey, with its Law, English and Design departments amongst the nation's 25% most highly regarded.
The University is not alone in providing further and higher education in the town. There is the usual selection of modern schools and sixth forms, such as The King's Academy in Coulby Newham and Macmillan Academy on Stockton Road and is in the top 25 non-private secondary schools in the country, while with a further 16,000 students Middlesbrough College covers the four campuses of Acklam, Kirby, Marton and Longlands, including the one-time Acklam Hall.
Also on offer in Linthorpe, are two of three campuses of the Cleveland College of Art and Design, the only such college remaining in the North-East. The college offers several BA (Hons) degrees in art and design, as well as many other further education courses in art, design and crafts.
The £17 million Unity City Academy which replaced the Langbaurgh and Keldholme secondary schools in east Middlesbrough was one of the first schools to open as part of the government's £5bn programme for transforming failing comprehensives. In 2005 an unusually large proportion of pupils gained no GCSEs and only a mere 6% of pupils gained 5 A*-C grades compared with a national average of 51%[4]
