About our college
We are one of the largest sixth form colleges in London with more than 2,500 students. Non-selective and secular, we have supported the progression of 50,000 young people onto university, training and employment since we were founded in 1992. Ofsted rated us ‘good’ in all areas in 2015. Our results in 2016 include 228 triple-distinctions or higher at vocational level 3 and 41% of A-level candidates achieving A*-B grades.
Our college combines high quality facilities with excellent teaching, tailored support and a strong sense of community. An investment of £9m in a new building has provided a state-of-the-art technology enabled learning resource centre.
NewVIc is a place to learn, thrive and achieve. We encourage and support students to become resilient independent thinkers and learners; we challenge them to see and think in new ways – to look at the world afresh.
The college has a vibrant, diverse culture rooted in ambition and equality. Artists rub shoulders with engineers.
We offer our students the most extensive choice of academic and vocational pathways in Newham, this means young people can choose the course that suits their interests and strengths, and that will best equip them to achieve their goals.
