Hartpury College 2025-2026 Accountability Statement

> Young People within the County: Following a period of contraction, the number of 16-year-olds is on an upward trajectory until 2028-2030, after which there is a drop (shown in Figure 2.3). This suggests that a greater quantity of local learners will need to access further education and training courses and, Hartpury has consequently increased its number of opportunities for new students in alignment, reflecting further growth in the academic year 2024-2025.
