We are delighted to announce that after a recent inspection, City of Portsmouth College has achieved a ‘Good’ rating from education watchdog Ofsted!

This comes on top of a 25 per cent growth in student numbers since the merger between Highbury and Portsmouth College three years ago - and the excellent news that after two years of economic good health, financial intervention by the Department for Education has ended.

Principal and CEO Katy Quinn expressed her excitement at the 'Good' news:

“Great things come from Portsmouth and, thanks to the amazing team we have here, we’re now in a really good place with a fantastic platform on which to build. It’s just the start!”

We did it again - for the 11th year in a row! Last night, we scooped up two gold awards at the British Travel Awards; Best Travel Company for Ski/Winter Sports Holidays and Best Travel Company for Activity/Sports Holidays. Our trophy cabinet is bursting at the seams, and it’s all because of you, our adventure-loving, Good-Energy crowd.

Your votes mean the world to us, so here’s a massive high-five and a huge thank you from us at Neilson. Time to raise a glass (or two) and toast to more unforgettable adventures with you in the year ahead.
