The town contains one further education college, the College of West Anglia. It was founded in 1894, as the King's Lynn Technical School. In 1973, it was renamed the Norfolk College of Arts and Technology, and in 1998, it merged with the Cambridgeshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture, which added two campuses in Wisbech and Milton. In April 2006, the college merged with the Isle College in Wisbech to form the College of West Anglia.
