New College Nottingham (often referred to as "NCN") is a college of further and higher education based in Nottingham, England. It provides education and training from pre-entry through to university-degree level, at several campuses chiefly in the City of Nottingham.
New College Nottingham is an amalgamation of Arnold and Carlton College (opened 1960), Basford Hall College of Further Education (opened 1969), Clarendon College of Further Education (founded 1919, became a further-education college in 1948; current campus opened 1960), and High Pavement Sixth Form College (founded as a school in 1788, a Sixth Form since 1975; current campus opened 2001)
On 22 January 2013, the College opened its first overseas campus in India – the New College Nottingham International Lifestyles Academy (NILA) based in Gurgaon, New Delhi – but withdrew from the project in 2014.
In December 2015 New College Nottingham underwent its new inspection framework OFSTED inspection and received a Grade 2 (Good) overall, having been rated as Good in all individual categories.
NCN is a member of the Collab Group of high-performing further-education institutions.
The Basford Hall campus on Stockhill Lane, on the north-western edge of the city focuses mainly on construction technologies, with an emphasis on vocational courses. The campus has specialist facilities for bricklaying, plumbing, gas, painting and decorating, carpentry and joinery, plastering, refrigeration, tiling, welding, heating and ventilation and electrical services. Basford Hall is also the home of the "Once Upon a Time" Day Nursery.
From September 2015 the campus has new facilities for students studying construction, science, technology and engineering subjects. The £27m rebuilding project follows a £15m investment by the Skills Funding Agency.
Opened in 1998, the City site is the main focus for the College's Higher Education provision, programmes for international students, hospitality, aviation, travel and tourism, fashion, art and design, ICT, broadcasting, media, languages and English as a foreign language.
Much of the provision is delivered in the Grade 2 listed Adams Building, a converted lace factory on Stoney Street in the historic Lace Market, and at the nearby School of Art and Design at 25 Stoney Street. Specialised facilities include a three-camera TV studio, a radio broadcasting station, and fashion design/manufacturing studios.
