A three-way merger that aims to secure the future of a troubled Southampton college has finally got over the line.
City College Southampton has today officially merged with Eastleigh College and Fareham College to create the South Hampshire College Group (SHCG).
The merger, given the green light by the Department for Education, will combine the three colleges’ student numbers to over 14,000 learners and a total combined turnover of over £50 million.
Andrew Kaye, principal of the former Fareham College, will take the helm and become chief executive of SHCG.
