Merger
Following a merger with the sixth form college in Sunbury, it became Spelthorne College, Spelthorne being the name of the borough council.
Along with all colleges in the post 16 sector in England and Wales, Spelthorne was removed from the control of the County Council in 1992 when the funding passed to a central government quango - the Further Education Funding Council for England, later replaced by the Learning and Skills Council. The college performed well in external reviews, notably gaining 23/24 points in the Quality Assurance Agency's (QAA) review of its higher education provision in business studies.
