As an Etc. colleague, you will hear a lot about ONE Etc. – one group, five sites, hundreds of colleagues with one shared vision, underpinned by common values. Together, we want to make a difference to the communities around us, and our staff and students are empowered to do just that.

Ofsted Oustanding!

‘It has been a pleasure. I have never been a part of an inspection of a provider who is so humble despite being so exceptional, you do the right things for your learners every day. It must be a joy to work here.’
– Lead Ofsted Inspector

Ofsted rated Etc. as Outstanding for its overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviours and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, education programmes for young people, adult learning programmes and provision for learners with high needs.

In the report, inspectors stated: “Learners and apprentices flourish across all parts of the group. They embrace the strong sense of belonging that they experience at all campuses. They feel valued and respected, regardless of their backgrounds.”

Furthermore, inspectors commented on the strength of relationships built with employers and stakeholders, helping to shape the curriculum to meet the skills priorities of the Tees valley. The report noted the “very clear vision” of the group’s leaders, both when it comes to creating a “highly inclusive, supportive and welcoming culture.”
