A specialist college in Birmingham is “elated and overwhelmed” following a sweep of top inspection grades from Ofsted.

The education watchdog rated The Hive College ‘outstanding’ today in all areas following a two-day full inspection in November. 

College leaders were praised for “detailed processes for quality assurance” which inspectors said allows learners to “progress swiftly” and “achieve their best”.

Learners achieve “significantly beyond” their target outcomes set out in education, health and care plans (EHCPs), helped by ongoing assessments that teachers use to adjust learners’ programmes to make sure they are “consistently demanding”.
