There have been 10 sixth form colleges and 56 further education colleges, which have closed since 1 January 2010.

Although usually one college closes in order to merge with another college, the majority of newly merged colleges have retained the original college’s estate. This means that although an institution may no longer exist independently, its closure does not equate to a loss of provision for learners in the area.

Each college closure has been in a different constituency. The full list can be found in the attachment.
