Ofsted report
“The findings from self-assessment are broadly accurate; staff and managers have a good understanding of what the college needs to improve. Students develop good practical skills in a range of trades as a result of good practical teaching in college, supplemented by good on-the-job coaching in the workplace for apprentices. All students receive good support. Recent changes to supporting study programme students, including their access to personal tutors, progress coaches and learning mentors, are enabling managers to identify and support students at risk and support students’ progress. This is helping to rectify the variability in the quality of student profiles. Students understand and value the different kinds of support available to them.”
