Leek College is part of Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group from today

Leek College has joined Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG) from today in a move that aims to provide financial stability for the Stockwell Street site.
Ownership of the Leek Campus of Buxton and Leek College has transferred from the University of Derby and will now be known as NSCG Leek College.
NSCG says the move will enhance its educational provision for learners and employers across the Staffordshire Moorlands, ensuring a "vibrant future" for local students.
Leek College dates back to 1863 with the founding of the Leek School of Art. It later evolved into Leek College of Further Education in 1981, before merging with the University of Derby in 2012 to become part of Buxton & Leek College.
Craig Hodgson, NSCG principal & chief executive, said:"We are incredibly excited to welcome Leek College into the NSCG family.
"It marks a significant milestone in our commitment to widening access to outstanding education across Staffordshire.
"Leek College has a rich history and plays a vital role within its community, and we are dedicated to investing in its future, bringing our proven track record of success and high-quality provision to the Staffordshire Moorlands."
Becky Sargeant has taken up the role of campus director of Leek College.
Becky has assumed her new post and will be playing a pivotal role in leading the College's integration and development.
Prior to this appointment, Becky served as curriculum manager for accounting, business, digital, esports and travel at NSCG's Newcastle College campus.
