Bretton Hall College, Teacher training institution in West Bretton, Yorkshire, England
The college campus encompassed 500 acres of land with modernist buildings and a mansion house situated within the Yorkshire Sculpture Park grounds.
The educational facility opened in 1949 as part of West Riding Council's initiative after the Beaumont family transferred ownership due to financial constraints.
The institution specialized in training teachers across three main disciplines: art, drama, and music, contributing to the development of numerous performers and educators.
The college maintained strong connections with the University of Leeds, which validated degrees until the complete merger of both institutions in 2001.
The National Arts Education Archive remains active on the former campus, preserving educational resources and exhibitions since its establishment in 1985.
