From 2006, the college has worked in association withBishop Grosseteste which provide validation for University level courses.
In February 2008 the college became the only further education college in the area[vague] to provide AS and A2 levels, whenPeterborough Regional College announced that it would be focusing on becoming a non-academic vocational college. The same year, the college developed a sixth form academy for A-Level study.
NCS was awardedBeacon status in 2009.[4]
In 2014, the college collaborated withStamford A.F.C. on the establishment of the Borderville Sports Centre on land provided by the Burghley Estate,[5] at Borderville on Ryhall Road, north of town.[6][7]
In 2006,Ofsted rated NCS as Grade 2 "Good”, including effectiveness of provision, capacity to improve, achievements and standards, quality of provision and leadership as well as management[8]
Some key areas were identified for improvement; milestones towards completion of targets were not specific enough or linked to quantifiable indicators to enable a clear and detailed view of progress. It was stated that the college needed to improve retention rates, the planning for and the development of learning and the quality of its self-assessment.[8]
Since the 2006 Ofsted inspection, the problems have been rectified, as was noted in the annual assessment visit of 2007.[8][failed verification]
