She's striving for the highest education standards
A newly-appointed education principal and CEO has shared her vision for the future of the Nottingham College as a "life-changing" opportunity for the city. With more than 35 years of experience and originally from Darlington, Janet Smith has spoken exclusively to Nottinghamshire Live's Olimpia Zagnat about the role of further education in a city with "pockets of depravation and low aspirations".
Ms Smith said that student care is "built in" the new vision of the college, adding that the institution aims to support students coming from disadvantaged families through bursaries. Mental health support has also been upgraded to help responding to students' needs, she added. "We borrowed to invest like many other colleges across the country. The debt burden might have looked bigger because we operate on a large scale, but a lot of work went into restructuring finances. We are in a pretty stable position now.
The former campuses in Beeston, Maid Marian Way and Clarendon were removed in 2020. In 2018 the Nottingham College decanted from and sold their former Clifton site.
