NewVIc achieves Ofsted outstanding

Newham Sixth Form College’s latest Ofsted inspection has praised the college for being outstanding in their provision for personal development, behaviour and welfare. Students were found to achieve excellent results at the college. The report highlighted that “the proportion of students who successfully achieved their qualifications was high” with many students achieving top grades.

The report, published on the Ofsted website today (22 January 2019) confirms NewVIc as a diverse and collaborative community with excellent academic success, personal development and progression.

Ofsted commented on how students “benefit significantly” from the specialist A Level Honours programme and how “students on vocational programmes make good progress”.  Many students we found to progress to university with an increasing number securing high level apprenticeships.
NewVIc’s expert teaching was celebrated with teachers being described as “very enthusiastic” practitioners who “motivate students to have high aspirations and make good progress”.  Teachers’ dedication to students resulted in the majority of students meeting or exceeding their expected grades. 

Inspectors were particularly impressed by the college’s focus on personalised support, unique opportunities, and tailored skills development.  The extensive programme of sports and other enrichment activities such as debating; sports clubs; women’s club and voluntary work was found to be extremely popular with many students participating.

NewVIc principal and chief executive Mandeep Gill commented:

“I’m delighted that Ofsted has recognised NewVIc’s outstanding contribution to education in the borough.
