Quality and improvement

Inspection evidence, stated accurately

Our public wording follows the current Ofsted report rather than reusing a legacy provider grade.

Latest inspection context

The Ofsted report published in May 2026 following the January inspection found the apprenticeship provision at Expected standard. It identified Needs attention for leadership and inclusion.

The report also recorded a 2023/24 apprenticeship achievement rate of 29%, compared with 61% nationally. These are the report’s figures, not a claim about current performance.

Our public improvement priorities

  • Strengthen oversight of learner progress and timely achievement.
  • Make inclusive support and reasonable adjustments consistent and visible.
  • Publish verified evidence of progress instead of relying on historical badges.

We will update this page when leadership has verified new evidence against these priorities.
