Significant events
- “The Broadstairs Campus, opened in 2023, has quickly become integral to the College's academic delivery. Student numbers have grown steadily, retention rates remain strong, and learners benefit from established links with local employers. During the year, the University of West London approved the campus to deliver validated programmes.”
- “The College was awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) in 2023, affirming the consistently high quality of teaching, student experience, and outcomes. This award is valid for 4 years.”
- “The Foundation Degree course validated by London Metropolitan University is currently in the teach-out phase and is expected to conclude by January 2026, marking the end of a ten year partnership in July 2026.”
- “NCL submitted its application for Degree Awarding Powers (New DAPs) on 15 September 2025, following the OfS's pause on applications in December 2024. Securing DAPs would enable the College to confer degrees independently for its approved programmes.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
