What does the provider need to do to improve?
- Improve student attendance at English and mathematics lessons, and make sure that more students achieve their qualifications in these subjects.
- Ensure that students with high needs studying vocational courses achieve as well as their peers.
- Make sure that information on what students and apprentices already know and can do is used by lecturers to plan the content and teaching of the curriculum in each subject.
- Ensure that the curriculum in all subject areas is designed to enable students and apprentices to explore topics in sufficient depth and breadth.
We discussed with staff and the Education Department how they might continue to improve the college. This is what we agreed with them.
- Continue to improve retention and achievement rates, particularly in those programme areas where they are low.
- Provide staff with the necessary CPD to enable them to engage more fully in self-evaluation activities to support improvement.
- The college and Education Department need to work together more effectively to find workable solutions to long-running challenges around cover and recruitment of staff.
