Home grown talent will stay in the borough as Kidderminster College prepares to take over the mantle at the Centre of Sporting Excellence (CoSE).
A transfer is a common move in the football world and the same is set to happen this summer with the transfer of teaching provision at CoSE from BMet to Kidderminster College, part of NCG.
From September, Kidderminster College will lead on the delivery of all courses run at CoSE. In addition, BMet has sold the land and building that CoSE sits on to Kidderminster Harriers – the football club that sponsors the centre of sporting excellence.
Kidderminster College Principal, Cat Lewis, said:
“I am delighted that we have been given this opportunity to take over the delivery of provision at CoSE.
“We are very well placed to ensure there is continuation of learning for students at the Centre of Sporting Excellence and I think this also represents a fantastic opportunity to bring a local centre back firmly within its own community.
“We can absolutely guarantee a place for every current learner and every new applicant at CoSE and we look forward to working closely together with BMet.”
