Here at Trafford and Stockport College Group (TSCG) we believe passionately in the transformative power of education and skills to unlock the potential of everyone who works with us – students, colleagues, employers and community partners.
Our college community is a place where everyone can belong – a truly inclusive and welcoming environment where ambition is nurtured, collaboration is fostered, resilience is built, and respect is earned.
Rooted in our local communities and aligned with Greater Manchester’s ambitions, our vision is to lead the way for a city region where everyone has the education and skills to succeed in life and work. Through our mission, we elevate skills, shape futures, and transform lives.
Whilst being a highly inclusive organisation, we have a relentless focus on delivering high standards of teaching and learning and student outcomes. For us, inclusion and skills excellence are two sides of the same coin.
Our Group includes Cheadle College, Marple Sixth Form College, Stockport College, Trafford College, and Manchester Airport Skills Hub. We deliver 16–19 education, adult learning, apprenticeships, employer training, and higher education. Across academic, technical, vocational, foundation, and community learning, we offer hundreds of courses.
At TSCG, we do more than deliver qualifications. We:
We are one of three colleges nationally that is taking a whole college approach to relational behaviour practice through the ‘Belong’ project.
We’re proud of our regional and national profile. For many years, we’ve led in student registrations for the prestigious WorldSkills UK competitions. We lead the way on political literacy and democratic education, becoming the first FE College in the UK to introduce automatic voter registration at enrolment – part of our Young Leaders programme, which embeds civic engagement, enrichment and democratic participation across everything we do.
As a leading partner in Greater Manchester’s Local Skills Improvement Plan, our employer-led curriculum is designed around the region’s growth sectors – from green technologies and cyber security to health and construction – backed by more than £52 million invested in our campuses. We are proud to be the education and skills partner of Manchester Airport supporting their ambitious plans for growth and employment opportunities.
What we’re most proud of, though, is the dedication of our colleagues – who work every day to transform lives and make TSCG a great place to learn and work. We have a culture where our colleagues strive day in day out to truly transform lives for the better.
We’re constantly evolving to meet the demands of a changing world, ensuring our students are career-ready, confident, and equipped for success.TSCG, more than a place to study it’s a a place to belong, believe, and achieve.
Best wishes,
James Scott
