Exciting developments at Stanmore College! • Stanmore College

The college has received approval from the Department of Further Education and Harrow Council with an investment of £60 million for a major redevelopment of the College premises. The work commenced in May and will eventually result in brand new modern and sustainable state of the art College buildings. With high-quality teaching and sports facilities, our facilities will be for our 16-18 young learners, 19 plus adult students, as well as the local community.

Currently the college has approximately 3000 students enrolled on various programmes. We want to get the message out to parents, students, valuable clients, and the community that whilst we undergo this redevelopment, the College is open as usual. Classes and education will be uninterrupted and continue as they normally would. Enrolment will continue for summer classes, evening classes, as well as for the coming academic year. We welcome all applications. Our curriculum will be delivered in full for our students even while we are undergoing this exciting interim redevelopment

What we are doing to make this transition as smooth as possible?

We are working diligently with Bouygues to ensure that construction activities are minimally disruptive during exam periods, prioritizing the best possible environment for our students.
Bouygues is rigorously monitoring noise, air quality, and vibrations to maintain safe and non-excessive levels, ensuring the building work does not adversely affect students or the local community.
Additionally, Bouygues is making a concerted effort to schedule major construction activities during non-peak hours, further minimizing any impact. This collaboration underscores our commitment to maintaining a safe, conducive learning environment throughout the construction process.
