About the College
Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG) is one of the very best colleges in the country. In October 2024 we became the first and only further education provider in England to achieve a full set of outstanding grades in consecutive Ofsted inspections. This includes recognition of our strong contribution towards meeting local skills needs under the latest version of the Education Inspection Framework (EIF). The inspection report praised all areas of the College's provision and acknowledged that staff are professional, friendly, incredibly supportive and work tirelessly to meet the needs of learners, that teachers improve their practice based upon the support they receive and that teachers create highly supportive, calm and highly aspirational environments in which learners and apprentices thrive. The group currently has over 6,500 full‑time students, around 2,000 adult learners and students on higher education programmes, and more than 1,500 apprentices working with over 850 individual employers.
