College Mission Statement
 
Richmond upon Thames College (RuTC) exists to help all of its students to achieve their full potential. It seeks to do that by providing

• a broad and responsive curriculum
• outstanding teaching, learning and training
• comprehensive systems of academic and personal support
• opportunities to engage in a wide range of enrichment activities 
• an institutional commitment to excellence

thereby fostering the skills, qualifications and experiences likely to enhance personal development, employability and citizenship. Whilst sensitive to changing political and economic priorities, and aware of the need for prudent financial management, the fundamental purpose of the College is teaching, learning and student achievement.

RuTC is pleased to welcome students from many different backgrounds and abilities. Building on its traditional role as the borough’s sixth form provider, the College’s primary focus is full-time students aged 16-19 and their preparation for University, training or the workplace. Operating within a wider setting, it aims to contribute to adult, HE, employment-based and 14-16 provision, working, wherever appropriate, in collaboration and partnership with other institutions.

RuTC believes that a skilled, motivated and valued staff is the foundation of a thriving student body. As a learning organisation, RuTC strives to ensure that the values which underpin high quality teaching and learning – encouragement, honest self-evaluation, high expectations and mutual respect – characterise, also, its management and organisational culture. Students, staff and other constituents of the College are encouraged to participate in its running and development through clear communication and regular consultation within an atmosphere of openness, confidence and trust.
