Learning to Nourish the Human Spirit
The Sarum College learning community and hospitality facilities offer a warm welcome to all. Choose from a wide range of subjects and formats to find the right path for your own learning journey.
Located in Salisbury Cathedral Close in historic Grade 1 listed buildings, the setting is ideal for reflection and study. The College is minutes away from the High Street and rail station, so it’s also very handy for cultural, social and retail distractions!
The balance between teaching and discussion was exactly right. It all felt very comfortable to be able to speak and voice an opinion or question, and listen to some brilliant insights.
The style of teaching was remarkably engaging and inclusive, and I felt no fear at entering into the conversations or break-out rooms. It was expertly delivered, most notable too for the atmosphere of listening and kindness. Thank you.
