College of Richard Collyer - Outstanding

2025 Full Inspection Report
What does the provider do well and what does it need to do better?

Leaders have put in place consistently high-quality learning programmes that are very closely aligned with the needs of their students and the communities they serve. Staff plan and teach their courses to make sure that learning builds on what students know and can do. They ensure that students have a very secure understanding of the fundamental aspects of a subject before introducing more challenging topics. A-level psychology students learn how to debate effectively before they apply this knowledge when debating topics. For instance, adult learners who speak English as an additional language initially learn essential everyday language and skills, such as how to greet people and the names of different foods, before they use this knowledge to order food in a restaurant.
