Gunnersbury Park Campus

Our Gunnersbury Park Campus has a friendly and community-driven atmosphere. Our students have access to the highest quality of staff and technical support, as well as to the practical facilities within the College’s walled garden.

By permission of the London Boroughs of Hounslow and Ealing we also have working access to parts of Gunnersbury Park itself. 

In addition, we work in partnership with local schools to offer opportunities to 14 and 15 year olds, such as practical tasters and training in horticulture, alongside their school GCSE programmes.

Free breakfast

All students aged 16 to 18 years old are now able to enjoy a free breakfast before they start their day at college.

This new initiative at Capel Manor College will ensure all students have access to a nutritious breakfast every day, which is vital for physical and mental wellbeing, and can also help with academic performance.

The College has teamed up with local mini golf course and café Putt in the Park to offer its students a toasted sandwich, fruit and a hot or cold drink.

The Stumpery Garden in the campus grounds was the inspiration for one of the College’s award-winning show gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

A four-year restoration project of the Park was completed in 2018.

Practical activities that have taken place in the walled garden have used horticulture as a way to improve physical and mental health.
