What does Reaseheath College need to do to improve?
- Improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment, particularly in theory lessons, and ensure students benefit from suitably ambitious curriculums.
- Increase the number of students who stay to the end of the course and achieve their qualifications.
- Improve the quality and consistency of learning support for students with SEND and high needs.
- Make sure all apprentices are aware of the requirements of their final assessment, how to prepare for it and when it will take place.
- Ensure students adhere to the college policies and procedures, including health and safety, and the expectations around their conduct in lessons.
- Improve quality assurance processes so that they enable leaders to accurately evaluate the quality of education and intervene swiftly to bring about improvements.
What does Reaseheath College need to do to improve further?
- Ensure learners achieve their full potential by increasing the proportion of high grades, reducing late transfers to less demanding courses, increasing the challenge in lessons and assignment work for more-able learners, providing more detailed feedback to learners on what they need to do to improve and improving the clarity of targets and actions set for learners.
- Improve teaching and learning by increasing the rigour of the observation of teaching, ensuring action plans produced following observations include clear targets and actions on what teachers need to do to improve and monitoring the implementation of these action plans.
- Ensure the range of the additionality and enrichment offer meets the needs of all learners, enrolments on additional qualifications are recorded in a timely way and outcomes are monitored.
- More accurately judge learners’ outcomes and the quality of provision by ensuring success rates are recorded accurately.
- Improve the measures to judge the impact of activities which aim to improve learners’ health and well-being and their contribution to the community, for example, by recording learner involvement, setting targets and monitoring progress.
Areas for improvement
The college should address:
- retention rates on a minority of courses
- success rates on directly managed apprenticeships
