» ABOUT US

London & South East Education Group was formed in 2018, encompassing our College (with its eight campuses), multi-academy trust (with its seven schools) and two apprenticeship companies. This new over-arching organisation reflects our growth since merger and position as the leading educational provider in south east London. From the Alternative and Special provision offered by our outstanding schools, to vocational courses of all levels – right through to degrees and professional qualifications, we make educational accessible to everyone across the region, whatever their age, ability or interest. Led by CEO Sam Parrett, London & South East Education Group provides a strong and united brand that encapsulates all the work being undertaken in each part of the organisation. It also gives us the scope to expand our activi- ties across London and the South East going forward. We want to ensure that our stakeholders recognise the breadth of our work, the exceptional quality and the level of service that comes from being part of the new Group.

Our group supports education across the full spectrum of learning and is made up of the following family of companies:

London South East Colleges was created in August 2016 following a three-way merger between Bromley College, Bexley College and Greenwich Community College. The college has eight campuses across the region, offering education and training to around 13,000 people. Since the merger, the College has been working hard to strengthen provision and safeguard itself financially for the future. The college offers over 300 courses at a range of levels, to suit people of all ages, abilities and interests. From Adult Community courses and apprenticeships right through to degree-level and professional qualifications. Success rates for 2016-17 put the college in the top 25% of FE Colleges nationally and above the national rate in all areas of its provision. London South East Academies Trust is a thriving multi-site(s) trust consisting of specialist schools offering special and alternative provision. London South East Academies Trust was established in 2014 as Bromley Education Trust by what was Bromley College at the time. The Trust changed its name in 2017 to reflect the growth Initially the Trust had two schools but has recently expanded to eight with further coming on stream through conversion. All offer outstanding alternative and specialist provision across Bromley and Bexley. The Trust ensures that children have access to a high quality alternative to mainstream school when needed as well as developing systems for prevention and reintegration.

The introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy in 2016 gave colleges the opportunity to build partnerships with companies across the region, to support them in growing the number of apprenticeships. London South East Apprenticeship Company was formed to respond to this agenda. All college-based apprenticeship provision is now marketed under this name and some staff work across both this and London Skills for Growth.
