College celebrates 'outstanding' Ofsted inspection
Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG) is delighted to announce it has retained an 'Outstanding' grade in its latest Ofsted inspection, with inspectors praising its 'strong contribution' to meeting skills needs.
After a rigorous inspection by a 13-strong Ofsted team from 1-4 October, Ofsted reaffirmed the College’s 'Outstanding' rating, a status it has proudly held since October 2019.
Craig Hodgson, Principal and Chief Executive of NSCG, said: “I am so pleased that Ofsted Inspectors experienced first-hand what I see from our students, apprentices and staff every single day – a warm and welcoming environment where learners are motivated and enthusiastic and staff demonstrate creativity, energy and passion in all that they do.
Continued Craig: “The inspection period was an intense week for everyone involved and we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we did without our students, apprentices, governors, employers and wider civic partners, who gave us their full support throughout, each playing an important part in the final outcome. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated and talented staff team for their relentless pursuit of excellence, and for consistently upholding the high standards.”
