Newbold Mission Statement

Newbold College is a centre of higher education committed to providing quality learning within a Christian ethos. It prepares students for pastoral ministry within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It also endeavours to develop in students the competencies needed in a range of other positions in the world of work. Newbold aims to provide a caring and harmonious environment in which students can grow as individuals, and advance on their spiritual journey. Newbold welcomes students from diverse backgrounds into a community which values the distinctive contributions they have to make. Newbold encourages students to be an embodiment of Christian values in the communities of which they are a part.

History

Newbold College was founded in 1901 as Duncombe Hall College in Holloway, North London to train church workers and ministers. It has undergone many name changes since. The Newbold name was taken from its Newbold Revel location to the east of Ruby, Warwickshire, during the War. Another War time Warwickshire location was Packwood House, between Solihull and Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire. In 1945 the College purchased Moor Close, the first acquisition of what would become the present-day campus. One factor for this choice was its proximity to Oxford and London. Coincidentally, Heathrow Airport was later built nearby.
