“Great sports facilities for all sorts of activities. Hosts a lot of clubs indoors and out with two full size sport halls, Artificial pitches and newly created Netball Court. With a Gym and social areas. Friendly and helpful staff.”

“Very friendly and professional staff. Couldn’t fault anything.”

“What an improvement to the old site. I thought it was a shame when the old buildings, including the library were demolished (although this has now been relocated), but after what seems like a lifetime of mess and traffic chaos the new building is light, modern and an asset to the town. Comparable to any other it's one of the best I've seen and is now fully open and operational to sixth form students.”

“On the 29th of July 2025, while I was at work, my right eye suddenly closed. I went to A&E the same night and was told it was a chalazion. I asked whether there might be a problem with the nerve, and I was reassured there wasn’t. However, it later turned out not to be a chalazion, but Horner’s Syndrome, which is caused by damage to the sympathetic nervous system pathway. In my case, the cause was idiopathic, but in other circumstances it could have been something serious — such as a carotid artery dissection, which can lead to a stroke. That night, I could have been at real risk, and it makes me realise how easily a human mistake could cost a life. I understand that everyone in the NHS works under great pressure, and I truly appreciate the effort of those who tried to help me that night. I especially want to thank the GP in A&E who referred me to the specialists when I went back for the third time — I don’t know his name, but I am very grateful. I would also like to thank the ophthalmology department, who provided a high standard of care. I saw Dr Anne-Marie Firan, who was a knowledgeable and caring specialist. Thank you to all of you at Barnsley Hospital.”

“I’ve had a great experience meeting the new headteacher. He’s a fantastic man and will deliver the best for the students.”

“Been wanting to come in for a while. Wasn’t disappointed, lovely little micro pub. Well worth a visit.”

“When I first arrived at Northern College I didn’t conform to social norms. My behaviour was wild, and I was living with severe mental illnesses. I struggled to fit into any environment. At Northern, no one gave up on me. They saw the person behind the difficulties and helped me see that I was worth investing in. I've gone from not knowing 5+2 or the alphabet to gaining all distinctions in my Access to HE Diploma, and securing a place at my first choice university. Northern gave me the right support and saw potential in me that I couldn’t see in myself. They gave me the tools, patience, and positive belief. Slowly, I learned how to manage my illnesses, my social skills improved and I believed in my own abilities. This is proof that change is possible when you find the right place and the right people. You can rewrite your story with the help from the amazing humans at Northern College. With sincere gratitude, thanks again to Katie, Nick, Zoe, Claire, stu, Rachel, John and cintia.”
