A Guide for Parents and Guardians

Succeed here

At Uxbridge College we want you to be involved in your son or daughter's studies. It is important that you are informed and support them at this critical stage in their life. We know that there is more to choosing a course than simply picking a subject. A young person's choice with regard to their future studies is part of a bigger decision about their career.

We achieved the highest success rate* in London out of 38 Further Education colleges for students aged 16 to 18 year olds on long qualifications in 2005/06. Overall the College is 10% ahead of the national average, results which make us one of the top performing colleges in England.
