Ofsted report
“Within this very positive picture overall, there is provision where achievement, although much improved, requires further improvement. Leaders and managers have successfully transformed the culture of the college so that staff now have higher expectations of themselves and of their learners, and have maintained the rate of progress seen at the previous monitoring visit. The use of targets has improved markedly on most programmes. Almost all learners know their target grades and, in the best cases, use these to motivate themselves to achieve. Leaders and managers continue to strongly focus on improving the quality of the provision in English and mathematics.”
