New City College
New City College (NCC) is a large college of further education with campuses in East London and Essex. The college was formed in 2016 through the amalgamation of separate colleges, beginning with the merger of Tower Hamlets College and Hackney Community College. This was followed by the gradual additions of Redbridge College, Epping Forest College, and both Havering College of Further and Higher Education, Havering Sixth Form College and Hackney Sixth Form (formerly BSix Sixth Form College). It has been the second-largest provider of post-16 education in the country since 2019.
Various vocational and academic programmes are offered across New City Colleges such as A levels, T Levels , BTECs, ESOL programmes and Higher Education courses.
The college has 9 buildings and 5 campuses around London and Essex: Redbridge (Ilford and Chadwell Heath), Tower Hamlets (Poplar and Arbour Square), Hackney, Epping Forest (Debden) and Havering (Ardleigh Green, Rainham and Hornchurch). All of these were inherited from its predecessors. The college is partnered with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, with Tottenham's academy staff providing professional coaching to students of all genders in support of the college's sports courses.
The largest building of the Tower Hamlets campus is on Poplar High Street, about 700 m north of Canary Wharf; the others are at Arbour Square, Bethnal Green and the TowerSkills on East India Dock Road.
The college is housed in the former building of the School of Marine Engineering and Navigation established by the London County Council opened in 1906. This later evolved into Poplar Technical College, which retained a maritime focus. Tower Hamlets College (THC) was established in 1990.
The College faced increasing competition at sixth form provision from local schools in Tower Hamlets and underwent an OFSTED inspection in December 2013 which awarded the College good college status (Ofsted, December 2013) As of 2009/10 the college had 18,986 enrolments, of which 66% were adults age 19 and over.
The College launched the Attlee A Level Academy in 2019 at its Arbour Square Centre in Stepney. This is a specific A Level centre dedicated to high achievement and university progression. It is named after the UK's post-war prime minister Clement Attlee who was committed to positive social change and opportunity for all. It was opened by Attlee's great grandson and the college continues to have strong links with the Attlee Foundation which has the mission 'opportunity for all'.
Its campus is in Falkirk Street in Hoxton, backing onto Hoxton Street. When the campus opened in 1996, it was Britain's largest capital further education building project.
