A West Midlands independent training provider specialising in the care sector leadership apprenticeships has been branded ‘inadequate’ after Ofsted identified “systemic weaknesses” in its training delivery.
In its first full Ofsted inspection, Stourbridge-based Phemagrace Ltd was handed the lowest rating in a report published today, following an inspection in June. It received ‘inadequate’ judgements for quality of education, leadership and management, personal development and apprenticeships, but scored ‘good’ for behaviour and attitudes.
The firm provided training to 55 apprentices at the time of the inspection, mainly in the care sector, but has no employees other than a single director, Morenikeji Babatunde Dawud, according to its latest annual report for the year to 31 December 2021.
Phemagrace’s apprentices are all on level three and level five courses, in adult care leadership, business administration, and team leader standards.
