Ofsted report
“The proportion of students achieving their qualifications has risen significantly over the past two years and is high. The college focuses well on ensuring that students have a broad range of useful qualifications and a large number of students on advanced courses move on to further training or employment. Most lessons are good or better, with highly motivated students making good progress in lessons. Support for students is good. Teachers and tutors set challenging targets that ensure many more students will achieve higher grades than their prior attainment might predict.”
