Teaching & Learning
All students must receive teaching, learning and assessment of the highest quality and this is our top priority.
Our organisation is complex and we offer a broad curriculum to a wide range of customer groups. Whilst tailoring our programmes and services to meet customer needs we must ensure a cross college approach to standards, expectations and performance so we are confident that every person gets an experience which is individual but of a consistently high quality.
We are well connected to industry and look to develop unique partnerships with employers which ensures our curriculum is responsive and motivating for students offering them the kind of experience and opportunities that they would not get elsewhere for example in the creative sector we work alongside the world renowned Sage Gateshead and the Live Theatre.
We are proud to be a founding member of Gazelle and are promoting and embedding enterprise and entrepreneurship in our college. Giving students the opportunity to develop the hard and soft skills employers are looking for is at the core of our strategy and we need to ensure that this applies to all areas of the college.
