New College Durham will be recognised as a leading provider of Further and Higher Education in the North East region, nationally and internationally. We are proud to be graded outstanding by Ofsted, and recognised for our excellence and innovation by being awarded Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) Beacon Status.

New College Durham currently ranks among the UK’s top ten per cent of colleges, thanks to our achievement and success rates (2021).

We are delighted to pioneer whenever possible and were the only North East college to offer all three of the first T levels; and we are the lead further education college for the North East Institute of Technology.
