The SMB Group is formed of three campuses across Leicestershire - Stephenson, Melton and Brooksby - providing specialist Further and Higher Education and Apprenticeship courses.

Our purpose is to improve opportunities for our students, underpinned by a commitment to excellence, innovation and inclusion. Our aim is to create a first-class College Group, which speaks with one powerful and strategic voice, retaining deep roots in the local communities it serves. This combination of local access to skills development within a strategic regional framework is at the heart of what we do.

The positive culture of the merged colleges builds upon strong and effective collaboration with all key stakeholders, including local authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships, schools, universities, employers and community groups. SMB Group works closely with industry partners to ensure it provides the skills needed now and for the future.

Our students access high-quality learning and teaching in some excellent facilities with industry-standard resources and exceptional staff. This supports each student to achieve their full potential and contribute to sustainable economic growth and a thriving community.

By working together, SMB Group delivers an accessible and coherent curriculum to support the development of skills using an efficient and financially sustainable model, demonstrating positive outcomes for students.
