What does York College need to do to improve further?
- Take action to improve the quality of education in GCSE English and ensure that the proportion of learners who achieve a grade 4 or higher improves.
- Ensure that feedback following assessments of learners’ and apprentices’ work makes it clear to them what they need to do to improve their work and make progress.
- Ensure that the attendance of learners continues to improve, particularly where it remains low, such as on a few adult learning courses and on GCSE English and mathematics courses.
- Take swift and effective action to deal with any further incidents of inappropriate behaviour of learners and ensure that all learners behave well and are respectful to their peers.
