The quality of education at sixth form and general further education colleges has hit a record high, FE Week analysis of latest Ofsted data has revealed. 

Top ratings for independent training providers have, however, begun to fall. 

FE Week analysis of inspection grades shows that 100 per cent of the 44 sixth form colleges in England had an ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ Ofsted rating as of August 31, 2022 – 13 percentage points up on the same period last year. 

And 88 per cent of general FE colleges achieved a grade one or two in their most recent inspection – 11 percentage points up from the 77 per cent achieved in 2021.
