Middlesbrough College, located on one campus at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough, England, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, is the largest college in the Tees Valley. It provides predominantly further education, but also selected higher education provision, and until 2008, existed on four different sites across the town (Marton, Acklam, Kirby and Longlands). It currently has 16,000 students. Middlesbrough College was one of Tees Valley Regeneration's major redevelopment projects. It is situated just north of the A66, between the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge and the Riverside Stadium, close to Middlesbrough city centre on Middlesbrough dock and the dock tower. Three of the pre-2008 sites were those of the former grammar schools when run by the Middlesbrough Education Committee: Acklam Hall Grammar School had 600 boys in the mid-1960s. It merged with Kirby to form Acklam High School, a comprehensive school, in 1968. This school then further changed in 1974 to Acklam Sixth Form College and King's Manor 11-16 School.
