What does the provider need to do to improve further?
- Increase success rates on functional skills qualifications and for learners aged 19 and over on foundation and intermediate programmes by identifying the reasons for their poor performance and taking corrective actions.
- Reduce the proportion of lessons that require improvement by:
- integrating English and mathematics fully within the curriculum so that teachers help learners make more rapid progress in improving their English and mathematics
- supporting teachers to make better and more imaginative use of ILT to enliven lessons.
- Work with employers and external partners to increase further the volume of work placements for learners on study programmes.
What does Yorkshire Coast College need to do to improve further?
- Ensure that equality and diversity related policies are assessed for their impact on different groups of learners by reviewing their content and context in relation to Yorkshire Coast College learners while adhering to the tight timescale set for completion of this work.
- Support teachers further to increase the focus on developing equality and diversity themes in both lesson plans and schemes of work through further training, the use of exemplars, sharing of good practice and by strengthening the evaluation of this work through lesson observations.
- Ensure that formal, regular monitoring of the equality and diversity action plan takes place as part of the work of the equality and diversity committee. Ensure that the formal reporting of equality and diversity measures to the advisory board and the board of governors takes place annually and meets the set timescales.
- Reduce the number of learners who are classified as ‘unknown’ in the learning difficulty and/or disability category to ensure that appropriate support is put in place for those who need it.
