Two bids to secure a viable future for the Newton Rigg Campus have been unsuccessful. The final element of the Further Education Commissioner (FEC)-led Newton Rigg Strategic Review has concluded that it had been unable to identify an organisation to continue delivering sustainable land based education at the Newton Rigg Campus, and that Askham Bryan College should continue with finding a buyer for the site. The review identified that most provision currently delivered at Newton Rigg can be provided in Cumbria by other post 16 FE providers. In addition, other arrangements to ensure the continuity of land based provision in the area are being developed.
