High Pavement Learning Centre

Welcome to the new home of Inspire Learning

We are thrilled to announce that Inspire College Eastbourne House, Sutton-in-Ashfield, has relocated to High Pavement House, Sutton-in-Ashfield.

Our new state of the art learning centre offers a variety of courses for young people, including:

There's also exciting work placement opportunities and Traineeships.

Our adult learning offer has expanded too! We've introduced courses for people to socialise, and have fun whilst learning something new. People can improve their health and wellbeing, and employability, whether that’s building confidence with numbers, digital and IT, cooking skills or crafts.

Prime location and modern facilities

Inspire’s new learning centre is conveniently located close to Sutton town centre and Inspire’s Sutton-in-Ashfield Library, making it easily accessible. Ashfield District Council, with funding from the Government’s Towns Fund, acquired and refurbished the building to provide a top-tier educational environment.

Inspire has further invested in kitchen refitting, ICT infrastructure, furniture and soft furnishings to ensure a comfortable, productive learning space that creates a vibrant and supportive setting for the young people of Ashfield to thrive.

Help shape courses at our new venue

We can't wait to share our newly refurbished kitchen facilities with the local community and would love to hear from you about the types of cooking courses you would be interested in. Please let us know what you would like to see by taking a few moments to complete our short survey.
