Thank you for taking the time to visit us. On these pages you will find information about the Governors, details of Committees and the minutes of meetings.
On 1st November 2017 North Lindsey College merged with Doncaster College to create the DN Colleges Group. The two individual Colleges continue to operate within the Group structure post-merger.
The Corporation Board is the Governing Body of the DN Colleges Group, comprised of people from a range of backgrounds with a strong and diverse skillset, reflecting the community the Colleges serve, and includes staff and students.
The Corporation Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the DN Colleges Group and to provide rigour and challenge to the Group Executive. In general terms, it is responsible for the quality of service that the Colleges offer to learners and the local community, as well as the College’s financial health (the Instrument and Articles for the College Group can be found here).
