History
The college was formed in the early 1990s by a merger between a sixth form college, a further education college, and the local adult education centre. Its main site for a long time was a purpose-built 1960s centre near London Waterloo station.[1]
In 2006 the college had a total of 10,093 students enrolled. 2515 of the total students enrolled at the college were on a full-time program and 7578 students were enrolled onto a part-time program. The college also had 200 14- to 16-year-old students enrolled. 62% of the students were female and 38% were male.[2]
Southwark College merged with Lewisham College in 2012, having previously existed as separate institutions.[3] Between 2013 and 2014 the college was branded as LeSoCo, before this was dropped.[4] It was then known as Lewisham Southwark College between 2014 and 2018, becoming part of Newcastle College Group in 2017.[5] In October 2018 it was announced by Newcastle College Group (NCG) that Lewisham Southwark College would return to being two separate institutions: Lewisham College and Southwark College.[6]
