About USP College

USP College was formed in 2017 following the merger of Seevic College in Benfleet and Palmer’s College in Grays. The College’s history dates back to 1706 when Palmer’s first opened after merchant William Palmer founded a charity school for the parish of Grays, while the Seevic Campus opened in 1972 as a Sixth Form college.

Later in 2021 we opened our XTEND Digital Campus in Canvey Island to support our dedication to digital innovation and extended reality.
