Stanmore College is a college in Stanmore in the London Borough of Harrow and was established as a tertiary college in 1987. In 1993 all colleges in the post-16 sector ceased to be controlled by their local education authorities and Stanmore College became a Corporation funded by the Further Education Funding Council, and since 2001 by the Learning and Skills Council. The College facilitates learning from Further Education, (The Sixth Form) to Part-Time (Courses for Adults) and Employer Training. Its Sixth Form provides education to an average of 1,200 16-19 year old school leavers. Students come from the Borough of Harrow, which largely includes students from Harrow High Schools, and a wide area beyond including a significant amount from Brent, Hertfordshire and Barnet. 'Stanmore College is to inspire and support you to achieve an academic, professional and personal success within the college.' Students follow a programme of Advanced, Intermediate or Foundation studies and the college offers a comprehensive special needs programme. It works closely with high schools in the Borough, and particularly with Park High School, to create a sense of continuity for pupils at 16.
