History

In 2003 the college moved from the Hoo Road site to its new town centre campus, and also operates outreach centres in Kidderminster and the surrounding Wyre Forest area. In 2018, Ofsted rated the college with Grade 3 (requires improvement) for its overall performance.[1] In 2009, around 140 pupils aged 14 to 18 from other local schools were also following vocational courses at the college.

In August 2014, Kidderminster College merged with NCG.[2] It is now one of four colleges within NCG.

In June 2018, Ofsted rated the group that owns Kidderminster College (NCG), as requires improvement.[3]

In October 2023, Ross Maiden was appointed principal of Kidderminster College.
