London South East Colleges will endeavour to be true to its values and ensure we deliver on our mission: to provide leadership, knowledge, and resources to unleash the power of learning as an agent for social change.
Our Vision
Transforming Lives through the Power of Learning: We believe that education changes lives and communities for the better.
Our Values
- Lead Locally
We take our public responsibility seriously. We serve communities and respond to their needs, creating social value and making a strong impact. We are more than education. We are leaders in the community. - Act Responsibly
Acting responsibly is core to everything we do. We are ethical, we have integrity, and we operate responsibly, treating everyone with respect. We don’t let people fail. We always do the right thing. - Fearless Pioneers
One step ahead, we look courageously to the future and stand out with confidence. We take the lead in shaping the local and national agenda and are true pioneers of the sector. We are never afraid to take things on. - Continuously Innovate
Through our sector-leading research and evidence-based policies, we promote best practice. We continually learn, looking outwards and inwards to support and improve the wider system through our innovative approaches. - People First
We are inclusive to everyone. We take a principled and personalised approach by learning, listening and treating everyone as individuals. All decisions are made with people at the centre.

In consultation with staff across both our College and Group, we have developed our new Group Strategy framework. This includes three key themes – which will help us meet our objectives:
- People First: staff are our priority
- Performance and Practice: getting better at what we do
- Prosperity and Place: enabling our communities to thrive
We are continuously evolving, driven by our purpose as a social enterprise to deliver excellence in education while making a meaningful social impact in all our communities.
