Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College (DSFC) began as Welbeck College, Worksop in September 1953, where a relatively small number of boys were prepared for A levels in technical subjects for two years, to then go straight on to the initial Army officer training programme at Sandhurst Academy. As the numbers grew, Worksop was no longer appropriate and so in September 2005 a new site was built near Loughborough to house the much larger number of boys and girls preparing to become technical officers in the Army, RAF, RN and DESG.
The Welbeck Archive project will contain historical sections mostly from the Early Years; a Student Archive tracing the military careers of all students attending the College since 1953 to the present day; and Articles, which will be added as and when they are passed on to the Archivist.
