  • Proposed College Merger Between HCUC (Harrow College & Uxbridge
    Proposed College Merger between HCUC (Harrow College & Uxbridge College) and Richmond upon Thames College FAQs 1. Why is the merger being considered? The merger proposal emerged from a robust Structure and Prospects Appraisal undertaken by the governing body of Richmond upon Thames College in conjunction with the Government’s Further Education Commissioner. The recommendation of this appraisal was that RuTC should merge with Harrow College and Uxbridge College (HCUC) to create a sustainable college group. We are confident that by joining forces we will be able to do more for our learners, and the delivery of a high-quality learner experience is at the centre of our proposals. Both HCUC and RuTC are committed to ensuring that the benefits to learners increase as a result of this merger, including a shared prioritising of students achieving more, progressing further and being more work ready. Through the merger the colleges will be “Better Together – Stronger Together”. 2. What are the benefits of merging? • Learner Experience - Current and new students can expect a new college partnership which recognises their individuality and provides a responsive and inspiring programme of study that enables them to progress on to new learning opportunities, university, apprenticeships or employment and supports them in achieving their ambitions. There will be an enhanced offer to students across all colleges, greater learning opportunities and more progression routes. • Quality - Excellent teaching and learning that delivers outstanding outcomes for our learners is at the heart of this merger proposal. By joining forces, we will have the combined strength, expertise and resources to accelerate the achievement of improved standards and we will be able to implement a programme of rapid quality improvement.
