What does the provider need to do to improve?
- Continue to improve students’ attendance and punctuality, especially for those on GCSE courses and level 1 vocational study programmes, by taking effective action when students are absent or late to their lessons.
- Managers and trainer/assessors must improve target-setting and progress reviews for apprentices to ensure that more apprentices complete their programme within the planned period.
- Leaders should swiftly identify the reasons for the consistently poor performance of students on some level 3 vocational study programmes and take urgent corrective action.
Areas for improvement
The college should address:
- retention rates on a few courses.
What should be improved
- number of student grades higher than predicted by general certificate of secondary education (GCSE) scores
- key skills provision
- suitability of accommodation for theory, independent living skills and visual and performing arts students
