Sutton College

In 1900, The Boys' Grammar School on Throwley Road in Sutton began to offer evening classes in art for older part-time students. In 1929, the Boys' school moved to Manor Lane, Sutton and the art program became a department of The Evening Institute, which took over the Throwley Road premises. By 1934, the school of art occupied the full premises at Throwley Road, and had 261 students (28 full-time, 233 part-time). By this time it was known as the Sutton and Cheam School of Art. ==Main centres==

• Sutton Civic Centre, next to the main library ==Business unit==

In part to national government demands that educational establishments create better links with employers, SCOLA introduced its SCOLA Business Unit, to provide courses both at its centres and at businesses. ==Future Plans==

In October 2022 Sutton Council announced its plans to sell off the Civic Centre: “The existing Civic Centre site - which includes the council’s offices, Sutton Library, and Sutton College, as well as the Gibson Road Car Park and the disused Secombe Theatre - will be sold and could be used for new homes, including affordable housing.” ==References==
