Awards

At North Warwickshire & Hinckley College we have been formally recognised for our outstanding work with individuals, communities and employers. Some highlights include:

Beaconlsis_beacon_small

We currently hold LSIS Beacon Status. Beacon Status is only awarded to the top 10 per cent of colleges nationally on the basis of their student results. We received a rating of ‘Outstanding’ in our 2007 Ofsted report, the highest rating possible from an Ofsted inspection. This judgement is based, amongst other factors, on excellent student achievements, exceptional development of vocational skills, and a highly responsive and inclusive curriculum. In addition, the inspection recognised our outstanding pastoral welfare and personal support for students, outstanding leadership and management, and highly effective and beneficial strategic partnerships.

Training Quality Standardtraining_quality_standard_small

Training Quality Standard is a framework, assessment and certification process, which recognises colleges that put employers’ training needs at the heart of what they do. It is a measure of an organisation’s ability to offer training, which responds to the needs of businesses.

North Warwickshire & Hinckley College has achieved both parts of the standard with training in Adult Social Care being recognised as excellent.
