History
Harrogate College traces its origins to the University Extension movement, which began in 1873 under the auspices of Cambridge University.[1][2]
The college was known as Harrogate College of Further Education and later Harrogate College of Arts and Technology prior to 1 September 1994, when the name was shortened to Harrogate College.[3]
Harrogate College relocated in 1985 to Hornbeam Park, after the older Bower Road location of the college in Harrogate closed.[2] The college is on the former Harrogate ICI Fibres site in four buildings. The college merged with Leeds Metropolitan University in August 1998 and was classified as a university; the Harrogate College statutory corporation was dissolved on 1 August 1998.[3]
On 1 August 2008 management of the college was transferred to Hull College.[2]
By 2016 it had 3,000 full- and part-time students, including young people over 16, as well as adults and apprentices.[2]
On 1 August 2019 it transferred from Hull College Group to Luminate Education Group (formerly Leeds City College Group),[4] with Danny Wild as principal.[2] As of February 2024[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". it is still a member of this group.[5]
