About Stafford College
Part of Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG), we are Staffordshire's leading General Further Education College, with pass rates and student achievement rates amongst the best in the country.
Stafford College Description
Where dreams begin
Stafford College is where young people set out on their future. We have the largest community of school leavers in the area, with many travelling considerable distances in search of a specialist college for 16-19-year-olds with a reputation for excellence.
Who are our students?
There is no such thing as a โtypicalโ student. Our students might be aiming for university. They might be embarking on degree-level studies with us or taking qualifications that will give them a head start in the workplace. They might dream of a future running their own restaurant, designing for the catwalk, constructing new landmarks or working with children. They share with us a determination to succeed and a belief that with the right kind of support, we can all achieve our potential.

Looks like our Public Services students had a great time in the sunshine earlier this week, taking to the Trentham Estate lakes for some Kayaking. Just one of the awesome experiences you can take part in when studying at Stafford College. โ๐ฃ๐๐
Now we just need some of that sunshine back...

Massive well done to Stafford College student Chloe Taylor and Newcastle College student Abbie Perry who took part in the Inclusive Skills competition on Tuesday at North Warwickshire and Hinckley College. ๐๐
The two students from each NSCG campus were selected following an in-house competition between learners to represent the Group at the nationwide competition. In total six other colleges took part in yesterdays heats, with more involved later this week.
Tasked in preparin...g 8 starters to industry standard in 1 hour, the students had to work individually and were judged on taste of food ๐ safe working practice ๐ hygienic working practice โจpresentation of food ๐ability to work independently ๐ฉโ๐ณ timekeeping โณ uniformity of food and equal portion sizes ๐ฝ.
The girls did amazingly well throughout, in what was a very long day, showcasing some excellent skills with their starters. Both have received a certificate for their participation, and we have our fingers crossed for the results which will be announced on 3 June; with a place in the final at the NEC in Birmingham up for grabs. Well done girls!!

Level 3 BTEC Graphic students have been on an awesome visit to London this week as part of their studies. Students spent time in the city, sketching and gathering primary information about the South Bank for their current project in which they've been asked to create an infographic map of London landmarks. ๐ฌ๐งโ๏ธ๐๐ก๐
They took in famous sights such as Tower Bridge, The Millennium Wheel, The Globe Theatre, Houses of Parliament and The Tate Modern where the stopped off for a look ...at some of the amazing modern art on display.
As part of the trip, students also visited Landor, one of the most famous branding agencies in the world, with clients such as British Airways and Audi. Senior designers, Carl Wills and Shaun Stewart, spent time with students, giving them a tour and overview of life at Landor, along with some case studies of recent branding projects.
An inspirational trip, where aspirations were well and truly raised in what was an eye-opening insight into an agency at the very top of their game. ๐๐๐
