What does the provider need to do to improve further?
- Increase the proportion of 16- to 18-year-old students who achieve their mathematics and English qualifications or improve their GCSE grade, by:
- ensuring that teachers promote the benefits to students of achieving these qualifications and improve attendance in lessons
- continuing to implement and review the well-planned strategies already in place to improve the teaching, learning and assessment of mathematics and English.
- Improve the quality of targets set by staff for students by ensuring that:
- assessors set targets to support apprentices in improving their written skills
- teachers set and review clear and precise targets for all students that not only support them to achieve their qualifications, but focus on the development of their wider skills development and areas for improvement.

- the effectiveness of target-setting for individual learners
