Our Board and Governors
NCG is governed by a Corporation Board, which exists to ensure the effective running of the organisation at all levels. It consists of independent governors who each bring their own skills and experience, along with staff and student governors. The Corporation and its governors lead on core oversight including strategy, finance, risk and assurance.
In addition, each of our colleges has a local college board that acts as a committee of the Corporation Board. NCG operates a place-based model of governance which ensures that NCG local college boards are truly responsive to the communities they serve by providing them with the freedom to explore in greater depth, the curriculum, skills and employment issues which will have the most impact within their region.
