Loved by schools & educators.
The National College has enabled us to keep abreast of everything, not only the statutory requirements, but other important topical issues. It's so thorough that it provides peace of mind, knowing that everything is covered.

We joined The National College in September and I think the interface is very user-friendly. It was recommended on several occasions and was best aligned to the school’s needs. I find it a truly immense, valuable resource bank for our school.

It helps us to stay updated with the latest DfE guidance, which is fantastic. The resources are all bespoke, designed by people who are in the know. I really think that there’s something for everyone on The National College platform.

Staff are encouraged to evaluate the platforms that they have had access to. We have a report for the responses on The National College, and the feedback is very favourable, around 90% positive. Enjoyability, usefulness, impact, they are all very positive areas of feedback.
