Leaders should ensure that they rapidly improve the consistency of the quality of education and training that apprentices receive so they all make good progress on their course irrespective of which apprenticeship they study.
Leaders should ensure that all tutors set specific, measurable and challenging targets for students to achieve so they can aspire to master the knowledge and skills they need to develop their full potential.
Leaders should ensure that all tutors and skills coaches provide helpful feedback so that students and apprentices know what they have done well and how they can improve their work. Skills coaches should ensure that they routinely involve employers in the review of their apprentices’ progress.
Leaders should ensure that they continue to monitor carefully the attendance of students and put appropriate interventions in place quickly when necessary.
Leaders should ensure that all tutors and skills coaches have the necessary knowledge and are confident to teach students and apprentices on how to keep themselves safe from radicalisation and extremism.
The college should ensure that actions implemented recently to improve the small number of underperforming courses are effective, and that learners currently on those courses achieve to the same high standard as learners in the rest of the college by the end of the academic year 2013/14.
