  • 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.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

Harrow College is a medium-sized further education college, operating on two main sites in central Harrow and Harrow Weald, and approximately 30 outreach and community-based venues. It provides academic and vocational education and training to young people and adults, with a diverse range of courses from pre-entry level to higher education programmes. The college offers programmes in 15 subject areas, though numbers in land-based provision, engineering and construction are small. 2. The college’s curriculum has changed considerably since the last inspection, with a significant increase in the proportion of learners on vocational programmes. There has been a significant growth in the amount of employer- responsive provison, particularly through adult National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) in health, public services and care and business Train to Gain programmes. The college has also increased its provision in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) to meet local needs. 3. The proportion of school leavers in Harrow achieving five A* to C grades at GCSE including English and mathematics is above the national average, but many learners join the college with lower than average prior attainment. Over 75% of learners are from minority ethnic heritage, which is considerably higher than the proportion in the local population.
