East Surrey College

I am delighted that you are considering East Surrey College for your future study or training and are looking to find out more about our courses and the services we offer.

On 1 February 2019, the merger between East Surrey College incorporating the Reigate School of Art, and John Ruskin College took place as planned under the group name of Orbital South Colleges. Our merger presents an exciting opportunity for the future, building on the very many strengths of our Colleges to create a high-quality, sustainable learning community; whilst still very much retaining the identity of each organisation.

From the moment you walk into our spectacular building you can see that this is a College built for success. We have first-class facilities and first-class teaching staff who have excellent subject knowledge and bring substantial industry experience. They will support you to gain the skills you need – whether to enter or advance in a career that really interests you, help you progress to university, into an Apprenticeship or to develop your skills in something new or for enjoyment.

We have extensive partnership working with employers that has seen the number of young people and adults progressing into excellent apprenticeships rise consistently over the past five years, endorsing the very high quality of our students and their learning. We invite employers to visit the College, work with us on ensuring our curriculum is appropriate to today’s employment needs, critique student work and to give students a real insight into their employment sectors. Students take part in work experience and a range of practical work projects.
