Our Ofsted Reports
On 27-28 February 2019, Ofsted visited Newcastle College to conduct a monitoring visit. The focus of this monitoring visit was to evaluate the progress that leaders and managers have made in addressing the main areas for improvement identified at the previous inspection.
The Newcastle College 2019 Ofsted Report noted the College had made 'Reasonable Progress' in all areas under evaluation since the Newcastle College 2018 Ofsted Report. Key highlights included:
• improvements were made to the tracking and monitoring of the progress of new apprentices, resulting in better progress from their starting points.
• teachers challenge learners well to develop their practical mathematical skills, using highly relevant vocational examples to ensure that learners apply their knowledge well.
• teachers plan and deliver teaching activities that promote learners' understanding of life in modern Britain and local communities highly effectively.
• the College maintained our strong Adult Learning programmes and provision for learners with high needs.
