Ofsted report
“Leaders and governors have taken decisive action to place the college on a firm financial footing and as a result have recently invested significant resources to recruit managers and teachers with the appropriate expertise to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. Most teachers and assessors use their industry knowledge and expertise well to enable most students and apprentices to develop good practical skills.”
