Leaders and managers pay particularly good attention to matching the curriculum to the needs of students and their aspirations. They use a wide range of evidence and local intelligence to plan the current and future curriculum. Safeguarding is skilfully integrated with the college’s very good arrangements to support students. Students know that college staff are all committed to keeping them safe, and they feel safe.”
