What does the provider need to do to improve?
- Ensure that leaders’ plans to improve the quality of education, particularly for learners aged 16 to 18, are effectively implemented.
- Ensure that teachers plan successfully the curriculum for learners aged 16 to 18 and provide learners with high-quality, developmental feedback to ensure that learners rapidly develop significant new knowledge and skills.
- Rapidly improve learners’ attendance and punctuality, particularly for 16- to 18- year-old learners and adults studying English and mathematics, to ensure that learners develop the skills and knowledge needed to achieve their qualifications.
- Quickly develop teachers’ skills and knowledge to fully implement the personal development curriculum for learners aged 16 to 18.
- Ensure that 16- to 18-year-old learners understand what it is like to work in their chosen industry sectors through meaningful and relevant work experience placements and work-related activities.
- Ensure that apprentices receive impartial careers advice and guidance to help them understand what longer term careers options are available to them outside their current employer organisations.
What does the provider need to do to improve further?
- Improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment by:
- developing teachers’ skills in assessing learners’ understanding in lessons
- developing teachers’ skills in allowing learners time to reflect and think deeply about the topics that they are studying
- ensuring that learners and apprentices receive sufficient challenge to make the progress of which they are capable
- ensuring that actions to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment on English and mathematics courses are effective.
- Reduce the number of apprentices making slow progress by:
- monitoring the progress that apprentices make and ensuring that staff provide support for apprentices to catch up if they fall behind
- reducing the number of apprentices who take a break in their learning
- ensuring that apprentices attend classes in English and mathematics where necessary.
- Improve the achievement of learners on study programmes by:
- continuing to monitor their progress and ensuring that teachers intervene swiftly when learners fall behind or do not make the progress of which they are capable
- improving the quality of feedback that learners receive so that they are clear about what they need to do to improve the quality of their work.
- Improve the attendance of learners where it is not regular enough.
What does the provider need to do to improve further?
- Identify dips in performance as soon as they arise and put effective strategies in place to address them before they cause a decline in learner and apprenticeship progress and achievement.
- Further develop the strategy for improving English and mathematics for learners on the 16 to 19 study programme, making sure staff use it well in all areas, monitor learner progress effectively and put prompt interventions in place where needed.
- Improve teaching, learning and assessment further by:
- ensuring teachers’ planning of lessons takes account of all the different abilities of learners and apprentices within the group
- providing the most-able learners and apprentices with tasks and activities which are at the right level and which challenge them to achieve their best.
