A Short History
Grizedale College, named after Grizedale Forest in the Lake District, opened in 1975. The name is of Norse origin and means “Valley of the Wild Boar”. (Hence our logo). It is at the heart of campus, and close to shops, catering outlets, the Management School and the George Fox Building. The college was completely revamped in 2008/2009.
