Gateshead College has been around since the 1950s and, from then to today, we’ve been helping people get the skills and qualifications they need to get on in work and life.
Our people genuinely care about each other and all share a purpose to give our students the employment edge; an industry inspired education that combines high quality learning with real world skills.
This means putting everything we’ve got into making sure our students are the most employable. From bringing industry expertise into the classroom and working hand in hand with businesses, to delivering the highest quality teaching and supporting students to develop personally as well as professionally, we’re all about creating experiences that will set learners up for life.
We aim to: Raise attainment, achievement and aspirations through the continuous development of outstanding teaching and learning so that:
1. Young people achieve at least in line with expectations.
2. Young people make at least expected progress.
3. Young people have a wide range of opportunities, which enables them to
make informed life choices.
4. Young people are enthused by learning and see education as a lifelong
process beyond the age of 16.
We aim to: Further strengthen leadership so that it continues to be judged as outstanding at all levels.
Be an inclusive school which supports all young people in reaching their potential through:
1. Development and innovation in the curriculum
2. Personalising the curriculum
3. Providing effective guidance
4. Be the school of choice for local parents and young people, which is at the
heart of the community.
