Association of Colleges

Commenting on today’s Ofsted’s Annual Report, Joy Mercer, Association of Colleges, Quality Manager, said;

AoC welcomes Ofsted’s Annual Report which recognises the success of colleges and their significant improvements in performance over the last four years.

The number of colleges rated ‘good and outstanding’ has climbed from 49% to 68%, while the number graded ‘inadequate’ has halved.

This is clear evidence of the huge efforts colleges are making across the board and with their very diverse provision.

Colleges also receive praise for their work with schools, the quality of opportunity they provide their students and the strength of their leadership.

Though Colleges will continue to be engaged in the restless pursuit of even better performance, the report is fitting and deserved recognition of the advances that they have made to the benefit of the students, communities and businesses that they serve.
