The college was inspected by Ofsted in May 2018 and was judged to be Grade 3 Requires Improvement.

The college is a member of the Collab Group of further-education institutions,[1] and has achieved Training Quality Standard (TQS) accreditation Part A (whole College) with excellence in Building Services Engineering (Part B). Highbury currently occupies three centres. The three centres are: Highbury Campus, Highbury Northarbour Centre and Highbury Arundel Centre.
