At Barnet and Southgate College, we are proud to be a leading further education institution in North London that is deeply committed to changing lives, empowering individuals, and connecting communities. With campuses in Barnet, Southgate, Colindale, and Edmonton Green, and a dedicated team of over 600 staff, we support more than 14,000 students each year across a broad spectrum of academic, vocational, and professional programmes. With an income of £52 million in 2024/25, we are a leader in vocational education, offering innovative programmes such as T Levels, apprenticeships, and specialist training in areas like aviation, healthcare, creative media and digital technologies.

Our work is guided by our 2030 Vision Strategic Plan—a bold and ambitious roadmap that positions us as the region’s foremost provider of high-quality learning and skills development. Our six strategic pillars—from delivering a responsive curriculum and impactful teaching to ensuring financial resilience and building purposeful partnerships—reflect our unwavering commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and excellence.

What truly defines us though, is our culture. Our guiding principles -being united, innovative, curious, inclusive, transparent, respectful, positive, responsible, measured, and proud - shape how we work together and how we serve our students and communities. These values are not just words; they are the foundation of how we lead, collaborate, and grow.

As an anchor institution, we play a vital role in regional development. We work closely with employers, industry leaders, and community stakeholders to ensure our curriculum evolves with the skills landscape. With a strong focus on sustainability, equality, diversity, and the integration of new technologies, we are preparing our learners not just for today’s opportunities, but for the challenges and possibilities of tomorrow.
