Two colleges have been rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted this week, with one making the jump to the top rating just three years after being given ‘requires improvement’.
Chadsgrove Specialist College in Worcestershire was criticised back in 2019 by inspectors who found directors, managers and staff were “not suitably experienced in working with students” in FE.
But following an inspection in March, Ofsted said this week that the college had a highly ambitious curriculum in place, and that students were able to develop in a “safe and highly inclusive” environment.
