Recently, apprenticeship provision received an overall rating of ‘Good’ from the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted), with ‘Good’ ratings in key judgement areas such as quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
