welcomewelcome STUART NASH Principal - New College Bradford Your future matters to us. At New College Bradford, we are committed to social mobility: a belief that gender, ethnicity, wealth or where you live should not stop you achieving your potential. By giving you the chance to achieve amazing A-Level and Applied General results, we are providing you with better life chances, better access to higher education and better jobs. So, irrespective of your background or starting point, New College Bradford really does have the potential to change your life. Don’t waste that opportunity! The New Collaborative Learning Trust has an established reputation for very strong exam performance. We are passionate about sustaining and improving teaching and learning so that every student’s results represent their best possible achievement. A key aspect of the New College experience is the young adult environment in which you will learn. We will respect you as an individual and encourage you to work in partnership with staff to achieve your goals. We will help you take increasing responsibility for your learning and to achieve self-confidence, skills and knowledge which will help you to progress in life, work and future study. Because we are specialists in post-16 qualifications, we are able to offer an extensive choice of academic subjects and a diverse range of wider college activities, such as performing arts, music, sport, foreign exchanges to France and Spain and challenging global expeditions. Bradford is part of the New Collaborative Learning Trust, together with New College Doncaster and New College Pontefract, both recognised as Ofsted “outstanding” colleges with over 4000 students. All three colleges share talented staff, expertise, leadership and systems. We want to improve the life chances of all our students as a result of a high-quality education that leads to meaningful progression and real social mobility. My role as Vice Principal is to work with all students closely to monitor your progress and achievement, providing you with highly effective study skills and learning behaviours and supporting you with your independent learning. I want to ensure that your experience in the classroom is of the highest quality so that you can study in the ‘New College Way’ and thrive during your time at College, reaching your potential in your assessments and exams and fulfilling your ambitions in the future. As an A-Level Chemistry teacher, I am passionate about Science and always look forward to my teaching experiences in the classroom.
