Principal's Welcome | South Bank Colleges

South Bank Colleges within Clapham, Brixton and our London South Bank Technical College in Nine Elms, sit at the very heart of our community in south London.

We were judged as a 'GOOD' college following our last Ofsted inspection in March 2022. 

Our Ofsted 'GOOD' grading is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the South Bank Colleges' staff who work tirelessly to support our students who describe, ‘the college as a family, of which they are privileged to be a part. This is a reflection of the high standards it has in all it does and its commitment to playing a central role ensuring access to high quality education for people that live, work and learn in south London.

I am incredibly proud of the positive impact South Bank Colleges has on our students’ lives and we are all committed to continuing our hard work to give every student new opportunities to learn, develop and succeed. 

Whatever your previous experience of education, your background or your age; we welcome you, support you and make sure that you have what you need to be successful.

Future careers and employment are our focus - we have excellent facilities for young people and adults looking to get the qualifications they need to build strong and successful careers. Whatever career you want from medicine to computing to engineering, we will support you to get to the front of the queue for your chosen job through apprenticeships at leading London employers and first class facilities from science and dental labs to digital media and robotics workshops.

Don't just take my word for it, take a look at the videos by our students, across our website, explaining how we help them to learn, become work-ready and successful.

Our teachers and staff are industry experts and our careers team is on-hand to support you with advice on how to get your dream job, connecting you to employers to build your career and options for going to university to get more qualifications.

We are part of the LSBU Group, which believes knowledge has the power to impact the lives of all people, across all sections of society. To make our world freer, fair and open, help our economy grow, and leave no one behind. Our unique partnership includes London South Bank University (LSBU), Lambeth CollegeLondon South Bank Technical CollegeSouth Bank University Academy (for 11-19 year olds) and South Bank UTC (for 14-19 year olds). By coming together as a group we give our students fantastic opportunities to study, learn new skills on apprenticeships or achieve a degree and further qualifications.

Many students join our college looking to improve their literacy and numeracy skills, progress on to professional, technical courses and then on to university and their dream jobs. We are so proud of the life-changing impact of our ESOL and adult basic skills English and Maths courses have on our students’ lives, their families and communities.

South Bank Colleges are known for being a welcoming, inclusive and supportive place to learn. That’s because we provide excellent support services for all our students to help you to be successful at college no matter what life throws at you. We have an Ofsted outstanding nursery that is used by our students enabling their children to learn at the same time as their parents.
