The Impact of The Jurd Way

Since its establishment, Margaret Jurd College (MJC) has been dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for young people who have struggled in mainstream education.

The success of our college is significantly bolstered by the generous external support we receive from individuals, businesses, and community organisations.

Our ultimate goal is for every MJC student to leave college with the knowledge, skills, and self-belief to build a fulfilling life.
