  • Northbrook College is a further education college and principal provider of work-related Further Education in an area centred on Worthing and encompassing the nearby towns of Littlehampton, Shoreham-by-Sea and Southwick. Northbrook was previously West Sussex College of Design (WSCD) but amalgamated with Worthing Technical College in 1985-86. Whilst the college retained its central Worthing site in Union Place, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) closed the workshops in Homefield Place, which were knocked down and are now the Environment Agency headquarters for the area. The college is the largest provider of Higher Education for the creative and cultural industries in West Sussex. It is also a significant provider of Higher Education in a variety of other work-related areas. The College, additionally, has contracts for apprenticeship training and adult and community learning, and provides courses in most work-related areas as well as those for personal development. It also runs courses at HMP Ford. The college is also home to the Southern Theatre Arts Centre, providing theatre courses ranging from National Diplomas to Foundation Degrees and BA Hons, which like all Northbrook's higher education courses are affiliated with the University of Brighton. Its venue, The Northbrook Theatre, is a professional theatre that regularly hosts touring companies from around the UK and Europe. Productions in recent years include Wild Party, Chess, The Blue Room, Angles in America, Metamorphosis and West. Well-known alumni of the college include singer Leo Sayer (who attended the Art College), the cartoonist and creator of Tank Girl, Jamie Hewlett, electronic music Band Sunset Strippers, automotive designer Tony Pettman, Robert Smith, front man to the rock band The Cure and former motorsport engineer Frederico Ribeiro. In June 2009, the College began its search for a new Principal, working with Veredus Management Consultants to identify and recruit a suitably experienced candidate.
