A large college group in Kent is celebrating after securing a “momentous” top-rating from Ofsted.
EKC Group today became the first general FE college to sweep ‘outstanding’ grades across the board since the watchdog introduced enhanced inspections last autumn.
It becomes the eleventh general FE college to currently hold a grade one overall Ofsted judgement.
EKC Group encompasses six large FE colleges in Ashford, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone and the Isle of Sheppey as well as a training arm for prison education. It currently teaches 5,500 young students, 750 apprentices and nearly 2,000 adult learners.
