Support those small minority of subjects where teaching is not consistently to a high standard to improve rapidly so that all students make at least expected progress from their starting points.
Increase the proportion of students who participate in the activities available to them outside their timetabled classes.
Provide ongoing and improved training to students so that they develop a more thorough understanding of the dangers of radicalisation and extremism and a better awareness of how to keep themselves safe from local risks.
What does the provider need to do to improve further?
Improve rapidly the quality of teaching, learning and assessment on level 3 mathematics courses in order for students to make good progress and achieve to the best of their abilities.
Further improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in the few subject areas where performance is not yet at a sufficiently high standard by ensuring that:
leaders and managers improve the performance of the minority of teachers who do not enable students to achieve the high grades of which they are capable
teachers plan a broad range of tasks and activities that meet the different needs of students and that challenge them effectively to realise their potential.
Ensure that all students arrive on time for their lessons at the start of the college day, so that students are better prepared for their next steps and the world of work.
What does the college need to do to improve further?
Ensure that all students have every opportunity to make excellent progress on every course by:
setting, enforcing and maintaining high standards and expectations for all aspects of students’ learning; for example, by making sure that students arrive to all lessons punctually, are ready to learn, and are set demanding work both in lessons and out of lessons
ensuring that students are set challenging targets for achievement, that their progress towards meeting these targets is monitored rigorously by their teachers and progress coaches, and that interventions where students are underachieving are swift and effective
raising the proportion of outstanding lessons, and ensuring that all lessons are at least good, by identifying the precise characteristics of the very best teaching and learning, and sharing the insights and experience of the most accomplished practitioners across the college through focused staff training
using rigorous, sharp and incisive self-evaluation to identify where performance needs to be improved on each course and intervening effectively to secure improvements
ensuring that all staff recognise the full potential of all students, regardless of their prior attainment, and work to instil all students with a sense of pride in their work and personal ambition.
