Train teachers to use assessment effectively to check learners’ and apprentices’ understanding and adapt their teaching appropriately.
Improve outcomes for learners on business, information technology and access to higher education courses at the Richmond campus.
Set targets for learners with high needs that link clearly to their EHC plans. Increase the proportion of learners with high needs who achieve qualifications in English and mathematics.
Leaders should ensure that learners and apprentices are aware of the enrichment opportunities available at the college to improve participation in these activities.
Leaders should ensure that teachers of mainstream subjects make consistent use of EHC plan outcomes to plan a bespoke curriculum for learners with high needs that enables learners to develop their independence and the skills they need for work and adult life.
In a minority of apprenticeship programmes, teachers should improve their sequencing of the curriculum to ensure apprentices develop basic knowledge before learning more-complex topics.
