Hartpury College 2025-2026 Accountability Statement

Developing Digital and Communication Skills

We have continued to embed and consolidate the LSIP findings relating to further developing digital and communication skills of young people, into our Hartpury Certificate Programme, monitoring student progress made throughout the year relating to these specific skills to determine the impact. We have continued to use the LSIP findings around Digital Skills for our current Agriculture Diploma qualifications to further develop agri-digital skills and knowledge using our Agri-tech Centre and SDF funded Agri-digital Studio.

During 2023-2024, we were successful in securing £500k of LSIF funds through the Gloucestershire colleges collaboration lead by SGS College to support a SMART Farming Hub capital development, delivered on time and on budget for 31st March 2025, with an official opening planned for June 2025. This will provide further opportunities for the development of agri-digital skills.
