Writtle College, Essex, has an international reputation as one of the UK's leading institutions of further and higher education. Courses are available on a full or part-time basis. Levels of study include post-GCSE training, University of Essex Foundation and Honours degrees and Postgraduate programmes.

At the 2006 Chelsea Flower Show the College won a Silver Gilt for its "Turning Red Tomatoes Green" exhibit, which appeared in the Science and Education category. The exhibit examined the re-use of waste materials and was based on research conducted at the College into the use of processed green waste as ingredients in composts.

A second floral exhibit, put together with The Sun newspaper, achieved a Silver medal and consisted of a seven metre pyramid of stocks.
