Stanmore College

Stanmore College is in the London Borough of Harrow and was established as a tertiary college in 1987. In 1993 all colleges in the post-16 sector ceased to be controlled by their local education authorities and Stanmore College became a Corporation funded by the Further Education Funding Council, and since 2001 by the Learning and Skills Council, which has been replaced by successor organisations: the Skills Funding Agency and the Young People’s Learning Agency. The College facilitates learning from Further Education (the Sixth Form) to Part-Time (Courses for Adults) and Employer Training. Its Sixth Form provides education to an average of 1,500 16- to 19-year-old school leavers. Students come from the Borough of Harrow and a wide area beyond including a significant amount from Brent, Hertfordshire and Barnet.

gollark: I'm not sure if you get to pick them individually or if it's as a class somehow.
gollark: As well as the basic stuff the spec we're doing has "Astrophysics", "Medical physics", "Turning points in physics", "Engineering physics (re-branded Applied physics)" and "Electronics" options, it seems.
gollark: Specifically under "Turning points in physics", which is one of the six optional modules (it seems convoluted and weird).
gollark: I checked the A-level spec just now and apparently it does cover special relativity.
gollark: very relevant random GIF?
