Ofsted has downgraded a college after finding “poor behaviour” including students vaping in the building.
East Surrey College, which along with John Ruskin College and Reigate School of Art forms Orbital South Colleges, received an overall ‘requires improvement’ report this week from the watchdog. It was judged ‘good’ on its previous inspection of 2017.
The college was rated ‘good’ in all areas of its most recent inspection except for behaviour and attitudes, and apprenticeships, which both had grade three ratings.
Inspectors said that students benefitted from “well-considered tutorial and enrichment programmes” and “develop their skills confidently and competently”.
