Ofsted
“Success rates are particularly high for students studying on vocational, foundation and high-needs programmes. Students enrolled on English and mathematics courses at level 2 or below achieve well. For example, GCSE high grades are well above the rate of similar colleges for English and mathematics. A large number of apprentices achieve well above the national rate. Students enjoy college and attendance is high.”
