Hartpury College Accountability Statement 2026-27

International recruitment for the College is deliberately small but focused, adding an international flavour to the overall student experience and allowing students to further explore cultural diversity. Curriculum planning and development through annual strategic review constantly monitors the local, national, regional, and international demographic, skills need, economy and Labour Market Information (LMI) to ensure continuation of both a unique and cost-efficient offer that meets the needs of the industries we serve and government skills priorities, not just for today but for the future. Our Employer and Industry Partnership Scheme was introduced in 2022-23. This has proven beneficial in further enhancing the extensive work previously undertaken to place employers firmly at the heart of our delivery through a formalised partnership approach. It also supports employers with understanding and navigating the skills system, an identified gap in the LSIP Phase [reference incomplete]. In May 2026, we hosted our Business West partnered Hartpury College Skills and Careers Fest, supported by over 70 employers.
