Refurbished Campus on Show at Morley College North Kensington

Posted by LocatED on 9th November 2022 -

We are delighted to see the results of the refurbishment of the Morley College North Kensington campus. This project has created a fantastic facility that will be enjoyed by students, staff, and the local community both now and in the future. The new façade presents an open and welcoming glass-fronted café and reception area, while a large multi-use community hall will welcome residents for sports and drama activities. 

Refurbished classrooms (including a science lab, computer rooms and art studios), an enterprise hub, digital gaming suite, and interfacing soundproofed radio studios will help the college to deliver its expansive range of courses, generating vital income at a campus that supports the inspiring local community that rallied for it.  

More about this project

The former Kensington and Chelsea College on Wornington Road was at the heart of the community impacted by the Grenfell Tower tragedy but the college’s future was uncertain. The local community, spearheaded by campaign groups ‘Grenfell United’, ‘Friends of Grenfell’ and ‘Save Wornington Road Campus’ came together to ensure the area would not lose its vital further education (FE) provision; in particular, a campus supporting the needs of local people, including disadvantaged learners.  

Since November 2018, LocatED and the Department for Education (DfE) have worked closely with cross-government teams, FE providers and the local community to find viable options for the site. This resulted in an agreement that the DfE should acquire the freehold interest of the site, granting a lease to high-performing FE provider, Morley College London.
