Outstanding College Principal to retire
Laraine Smith has been an absolutely outstanding Principal and Chief Executive of Uxbridge College which she has developed into the number one college in London for 16 to 18 year old students. As well as securing national awards for the quality of the College's work with students she has transformed the facilities available at both the Uxbridge and Hayes campuses. On top of that she has managed the complex amalgamation of Uxbridge and Harrow Colleges into one.
She is retiring at the end of term and I have written to her on behalf of the Hayes Town Partnership to thank her for everything she has done for young people in Hayes. I attended her retirement event last week as shown in the picture. She is truly going to be a hard act to follow.
