As part of Refugee Week, our Pre-Entry ESOL Young Learners took part in a meaningful art project in partnership with the Royal Maritime Museum Greenwich. Led by Michelle Butcher, learners explored the theme of courage through a collection of creative and thought-provoking artworks. Their work is now on display at the Queen’s House from 17–21 June. The project provided an opportunity for learners to express themselves, share their perspectives and celebrate their creativity through art. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and were delighted to see them receive certificates in recognition of their hard work. Congratulations to all the learners involved and thank you to the Royal Maritime Museum Greenwich for supporting this inspiring project. #RefugeeWeek #LewishamCollege #ESOL #CreativeLearning

What better way for our Business T-Level students to practice their presentation and pitching skills than to stand in front of The Great Run Company and share their ideas Dragon’s Den style? 🐉 The brief? Attract more 16-18 year olds to the Great Run… and be innovative! Congrats to our winners Leigh-Anne, Savannah and Olivia for their Great Scare Run concept 👏

Real conversations. Real change 👷‍♂️  We recently hosted a roundtable at Lewisham College on CSCS cards and the journey for FE students entering construction.  With voices from across education and industry, the discussion covered barriers to progression, learner experiences and what the future of the system should look like 💬  Guests also had the chance to explore our new facilities and testing centre, seeing first-hand how we’re supporting learners into the sector 👀

An insightful and collaborative roundtable at Lewisham College, bringing together senior leaders from further education and the construction industry. Hosted in partnership with the Association of Colleges and the Construction Leadership Council, the discussion focused on the role of CSCS cards and their impact on FE learners progressing into employment. Key themes included the learnerjourney through the CSCS process, barriers to progression and whether the current system effectively meets the needs of both learners and employers. Alongside the discussion, guests were given a tour of our new facilities and dedicated testing centre, providing a valuable opportunity to see how we are supporting learners to develop industry-ready skills. Events like this play an important role in shaping more accessible and effective pathways into construction careers.

🎉 Celebrating Achievement at Lewisham College! 🎓 We were proud to host our 2026 Student Awards, recognising the outstanding accomplishments of our learners. With inspiring live performances and a full Breakspears Hall, it was a fantastic evening celebrating success across our college community. 👏 Congratulations to all our winners and nominees, your dedication and achievements continue to inspire us all

🎥 Guest speaker alert! This morning, our Art & Design learners had the opportunity to hear directly from actor, photographer and author Paul Stevenson, who joined us at Newcastle College during #TourettesSyndromeAwarenessMonth to introduce a screening of film I Swear. Also known for his children’s book My Tics and Me, Paul is passionate about sharing lived experiences and raising awareness through his creative work. After the screening, Paul hosted a Q&A with our Level 2 and 3 students, sharing honest insights into his journey and what it really takes to succeed in the creative industries. “This film is not just entertainment. It is a reminder of the power of lived experience, resilience and community – a story that deserves to be told, and one that will stay with you long after the credits roll.” A brilliant opportunity for our learners to connect industry experience with their own creative ambitions while engaging with an important awareness topic.

It was a pleasure to welcome St John Henry Newman Catholic School with their fantastic Year 10 students for a digital workshop this month 👏 It was great to see so much creativity, curiosity, and enthusiasm for the digital world! 💻✨ Digital and Computing can offer so many exciting career paths so it was a brilliant opportunity for the group to explore what a future in digital could look like! #TLevels #Digital #Computing #IT #computerscience #Cybersecurity

✨ What an unforgettable week for our NSFC Turing 2026 group! From the moment our students and staff stepped into Gratton Private Secondary School, they were welcomed with open arms - from joining lessons to an incredible choir performance that set the tone for a truly special experience. Watching our students connect through music and culture was a powerful reminder of how education brings people together across the world. 💫 They then travelled into a rural community to an all-inclusive primary school, where our students rose to every challenge. From teaching across all year groups to leading a class of 101 nursery pupils - many with limited English - they showed outstanding adaptability, energy, and professionalism. Throughout the week, our students have built meaningful connections, embraced new cultures (even picking up some Zulu along the way!), and truly stepped outside their comfort zones. We are incredibly proud of how positively they have represented Newcastle Sixth Form College. 💙 This journey is about more than teaching - it’s about growth, confidence, and making a real impact. And the best part? There’s still more to come… #NSFC #newcastlesixthformcollege #GoFurther
