Westcott House is a Church of England theological college based in the university city of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. [1] Its main activity is training men and women for ordained ministry in Anglican churches. Westcott House is a founder member of the Cambridge Theological Federation.

The college has its origin in the Cambridge Clergy Training School which was founded by Brooke Foss Westcott, then Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge, in 1881.[2]

The college website summarises its approach:

“We are committed also to make a broad contribution to the whole Church in its mission to the world though teaching, resource sharing and applied research. We seek to be open to God, the church and society, and to serve each with a robust and realistic faith.”[1]
