Ofsted report
“As a result of the highly motivated, skilled and experienced staff, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding. Lecturers provide learners with challenging work that prepares them extremely well for their next steps.”
“The bold strategy for improving learners’ English and mathematics is ensuring more learners improve their skills in these subjects. Excellent care, guidance and support for learners, particularly the most vulnerable, ensure that they make good, and often excellent, progress. Support for learners is very well coordinated and helps many overcome problems which would otherwise prevent them from learning.”
