  • Published: 20 February 2025

We are delighted to congratulate long-time Westminster Business Council member, United Colleges Group (UCG), on achieving an overall ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted following their December 2024 inspection.

UCG, which includes City of Westminster College and the College of North West London, plays a vital role in providing high-quality education and training across five campuses in the capital. With over 10,000 learners enrolled annually, UCG delivers a broad, skills-focused curriculum that aligns with London’s economic and employment priorities.

Highlights from Ofsted’s Report

Ofsted’s inspection praised several key aspects of UCG’s provision, reinforcing its strong standing within the education sector:

  • Quality of Education – The curriculum is well-structured and responsive, equipping students with the skills required by London’s employers.
  • Personal Development – UCG fosters inclusive and supportive learning environments, ensuring learners receive the encouragement needed to succeed.
  • Leadership and Management – Leaders have developed strong partnerships with stakeholders, driving improvements across all curriculum areas.
  • Education for Young People – Students benefit from well-planned work experience and direct engagement with industry professionals.
  • Adult Learning Programmes – The college’s flexible and accessible provision allows adult learners to upskill and retrain effectively.
  • Apprenticeships – Apprentices receive high-quality training in well-equipped facilities, gaining the practical skills required for career success.
  • Support for High-Needs Learners – UCG provides a caring and inclusive environment, helping learners transition into work, further study, or independent living.

A Testament to Excellence

Stephen Davis, Chief Executive Officer & Group Principal of UCG, expressed immense pride in this achievement, recognising it as a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the college’s staff, students, and industry partners. He emphasised that the college is committed to further growth and improvement, ensuring that students continue to receive an exceptional education.

A Proud Moment for Westminster Business Council

As an organisation that champions business and skills development, Westminster Business Council is proud to support UCG’s success. Their commitment to education and workforce development aligns perfectly with our mission to foster economic growth and opportunity in Westminster and beyond.

Congratulations once again to United Colleges Group on this well-deserved recognition—we look forward to seeing their continued success!
