What Ofsted found
Find the report on OfstedOverall effectiveness:Good2010
Inspected on 25 November 2025 under the framework introduced in November 2025, which grades separate areas and gives no overall grade.
- Safeguarding
- Met
- Inclusion
- Expected standard
- Leadership and governance
- Needs attention
Before that, their overall effectiveness was Good when they were inspected on 15 March 2010. That grade is from the older framework, so it is not directly comparable with the grades above.
Published by Ofsted and reused under the Open Government Licence. We show these judgements but never rank or order colleges by them: a grade from one framework cannot be set against a grade from another.
What they cover, and at what level
A filled cell means at least one course. Gaps matter: if you want Level 3 in a subject they only teach at Level 2, you would need to go elsewhere later.
