The Trafford and Stockport College Group (TSCG) was formed on the basis of two college mergers in three years:
Yet our history is very rich and goes back far much further than the “two mergers in three years.”
Trafford College itself was the result of a merger in 2007 between North and South Trafford Colleges, and included a visit by then Prime Minister Tony Blair.
South Trafford College was considered to be one of the best colleges in the country.
“The 212,000 residents of Trafford may count themselves fortunate. Not only is their borough home to football’s Premier League champions and a Test match cricket ground but also to two successful colleges. Last year South Trafford college became the first college in the country to achieve outstanding ratings in all five categories in the current Ofsted inspection cycle. Four miles up the road, North Trafford college can boast similar distinction.”
