A Catholic sixth form college has been judged to be ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted – 14 years on from its last inspection.
Cardinal Newman College, in Lancashire, was handed top marks across the board in a report published today following a visit in February.
The college teaches more than 4,200 young people on a mix of level 3 A-level and vocational programmes.
Inspectors found students who were “overwhelmingly positive about the education that they receive and the care and support that staff give them during their time at college”, adding that students “thrive in the supportive and nurturing environment that leaders and staff have created”.
