5 Vision 2021 The DN Colleges Group is thriving, with a high reputation among students and employers, based on outstanding levels of achievement and skills delivery for our partner employers and stakeholders. Income has exceeded financial forecasts, achieved through growth in our core provision and mixed economy of Higher Education (HE), Further Education (FE) and Apprenticeships. We are financially outstanding and have invested in staff and capital in key areas to support quality and growth. Financial resilience ensures we can invest in our future plans. We have bucked the demographic decline in year olds by expanding our catchment areas and are attracting a greater market share from our localities and across the region. Vision 2021 We are the key partner of universities, UTCs (University Technical Colleges), IoTs (Institutes of Technology) and National Colleges, supporting the ability of the area to regenerate and grow. Both colleges are a central part of town centre projects to create a University presence. We are recognised as a major partner and have influence such that we are always asked to the table. We are recognised for playing a key role in enhancing the social mobility and economic wellbeing across the region and in our distinct localities. Ultimately it is about people. We are working in harmony and cultivating a high performing culture. We have awarded pay increases in every year and feedback from staff recognises that they have a great future with the DN Colleges Group. 5
