Coastland College came into being in 2025 when two long-established Dorset colleges, Weymouth College and Kingston Maurward College, brought their operations together under one name.

It runs a coastal campus on Cranford Avenue in Weymouth and a rural estate-based campus at Kingston Maurward near Dorchester, teaching academic, vocational and land-based courses. The college presents its two sites as retaining distinct characters, one shaped by its seaside setting and the other by its farming and estate-management heritage.
