Summary of key findings

This is a good provider Governors provide very effective support and challenge to leaders and managers which has resulted in the standard of education and training being good. Leaders and managers have successfully set high expectations for teachers and staff resulting in students making good progress in their studies. Leaders and managers have implemented a strong and inclusive culture of learning in which students from diverse backgrounds work successfully with each other to embody the college values of hard work, integrity and passion, trust and respect.

Teachers plan lessons meticulously and they ensure that students make good progress throughout their time at the college. Teachers asses...s students' progress accurately and regularly through a comprehensive progress-review system and provide useful feedback that helps them to improve. Students have access to effective and impartial careers information, advice and guidance which has led to almost all students progressing to higher education, apprenticeships or employment.

Newly implemented vocational courses do not perform as well as the more established ones. While the principal and her senior managers have worked tirelessly to increase the student numbers at the college, the future sustainability of the college depends on transferring it to another multi-academy trust. The quality improvement plan is not specific enough to enable managers to make further improvements.
