What does the provider need to do to improve further?
- Leaders and managers should ensure that:
- all students have good access to effective impartial careers advice and guidance, regardless of where they are intending to progress, so that they can make informed decisions about their next steps
- teachers develop students’ literacy and numeracy skills across all academic and vocational areas, so that more students improve and refine these skills to a higher level
- all students have a suitable range of work-related activities and work-experience placements appropriate to their career aims
- all students have a comprehensive and secure understanding of the risks associated with radicalisation and extremism and are confident about how to protect themselves from these risks
- they improve processes for evaluating the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, making sure that managers can more clearly articulate the precise actions teachers must take to improve.
