Welcome to Havering College

Havering College is a large and diverse further and higher education college and is in the top 10 per cent of colleges based on size. The College is also a major provider of Higher Education, and is the largest provider of higher education in a college in London. The College sees teaching and learning as its first priority and thereby promotes the ethos of a professional learning community.

We have over 12,000 students at Havering College who are from a wide range of backgrounds, age groups and ethnicities. We have an excellent range of full-time, part-time and short courses for learners of all ages and we are confident we can help everyone achieve their goals.

We provide access to an unrivalled range of courses from a diverse curriculum like Engineering, Construction, Health and Social Care and Early Years, Creative Arts etc. Our courses can be tailored to meet the needs of individuals and employers and delivered in College or in the workplace, in a flexible and supportive way to ensure achievement.

We support progression from age 14 right the way through to degree level. This means you can enrol on an entry level course and leave with one of a wide-range of degrees we have on offer.

The college serves the local community of the London Borough of Havering and has one of the largest "pull" factors of all London colleges. Learners travel 16 minutes longer than average compared to other colleges because of the College's track record and reputation.

The college continues to meet challenging targets it sets for itself and also those targets which are presented by external agencies. Success rates are good, and in some areas outstanding, especially in our A Level results.

The college's overall effectiveness is good. Our most recent Ofsted report delivered us a Good pass rate and we strive to achieve Outstanding the next time round.

The Principal is Noel Otley, check out his blog here.
