report:

At the most recent full inspection, the following areas were identified as needing to improve:  Use information about what learners know and can do to consistently plan and teach a curriculum that meets learners’ individual needs.  Teach an appropriate English and mathematics curriculum so that learners develop the new knowledge and skills they need to succeed.  Provide learners with good-quality feedback so that learners know and remember what they need to do to improve their work.  Thoroughly review the progress that learners make in developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need for their next steps.

report:

During the monitoring inspection, inspectors focused on the following themes:  What progress have leaders made in using information about what learners know and can do to plan and teach a curriculum that meets learners’ individual needs?  What progress have leaders made to develop appropriate English and mathematics curriculums so that learners develop the knowledge and skills they need?  What progress have leaders made in providing learners with good-quality feedback so that learners know and remember what they need to do to improve their work?  What progress have leaders made to ensure that tutors thoroughly review the progress that learners make in developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need for their next steps? Monitoring inspection report: Green Corridor 6 and 7 May 2026

p.1

learners’ individual needs? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Since the previous inspection, leaders have made several positive changes to the way they teach and manage the curriculum. For example, they have merged 3 curriculum pathways into 2, vocational and foundation, with the aim to improve quality and the learner experience. However, a lack of capacity at a leadership level and further education special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) expertise at trustee level have restricted the effectiveness of leaders’ actions to make the necessary improvements.

p.2

learners’ individual needs? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have not made sure that each curriculum pathway is planned and sequenced consistently well. In the foundation pathway, tutors have suitably considered this, so each learner studies an individualised curriculum. However, on the vocational pathway, leaders have not planned a coherent or well-structured curriculum. Tutors teach to a qualification and do not teach the wider knowledge, skills and behaviours needed beyond the qualification criteria.

p.2

learners’ individual needs? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

There remain inconsistencies in how well tutors use information about what learners know and can do. For example, on the vocational pathway, assessment is underdeveloped and too narrow. This is because it is solely based on unit qualification criteria. Therefore, learners do not study a curriculum that is individualised for their needs beyond a qualification. On the foundation pathway, tutors use assessment well to plan an individual curriculum for learners.

p.2

skills they need? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have an accurate understanding of where improvements are needed in English and mathematics curriculums. Since the previous inspection, they have lacked staff to manage and develop the teaching of English and mathematics. This has hindered the progress that they have made in this area. Leaders now have secured sufficient management capacity to make these improvements.

p.2

skills they need? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have secured some improvements to support the teaching of English and mathematics. They have introduced training for staff on topics such as marking. They have introduced mock examinations to help those learners who take examinations in English and mathematics to prepare for them.

p.2

skills they need? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have introduced new processes, such as assessments, at the start of programmes to accurately identify the gaps in learners’ English and mathematics knowledge. However, there are inconsistencies in how effectively tutors use the results from these assessments to develop English and mathematics curriculums to support learners to develop their skills. On the foundation pathway, tutors use the results of assessments well to inform the curriculums. They set learners clear goals Monitoring inspection report: Green Corridor 6 and 7 May 2026

to work towards, including how to use English and mathematics in practical activities, such as using money at a café. However, on the vocational pathway, the effective use of this information in teaching is not evident.

p.3

need to do to improve their work? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have made some progress in this area, but the quality of feedback that learners receive varies too much between the foundation and vocational pathways.

p.3

need to do to improve their work? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

On the foundation pathway, tutors provide good-quality feedback to learners to help them improve their work. This includes oral feedback that is recorded well on the evidence of learners’ work, such as photos and videos. Tutors celebrate where learners have done well, such as developing their knowledge about respect. They highlight helpful next steps set to develop learners’ knowledge about healthy relationships further.

p.3

need to do to improve their work? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

Tutors on the vocational pathway do not provide learners with consistently good- quality feedback to help them improve. Tutors’ feedback is too descriptive and does not help learners to make improvements or know what they have done well. It is unclear how tutors know if learners are making progress and what areas learners need to improve.

p.3

need to do to improve their work? (Curriculum, teaching and training)

In English and mathematics lessons, tutors generally provide useful feedback on learners’ work. For example, they consistently identify and correct learners’ spelling, grammar and punctuation. They provide helpful feedback on how to use the correct vocabulary and tense. They encourage learners to use dictionaries to check their own work and the meaning and spelling of words. In mathematics classes, tutors give learners clear explanations on how to borrow numbers when dividing. They reinforce this in learners’ marked work.

p.3

(Curriculum, teaching and training)

Leaders have not established a consistent approach with staff to review learners’ progress. There remain inconsistencies between the foundation and vocational pathways in how effectively staff track and review learners’ progress. On the foundation pathway, tutors thoroughly record, track and summarise the progress and achievements of learners. However, on the vocational pathway, tutors do not review or summarise progress well enough. Where staff do review learners’ progress, this is done in isolation and against unit criteria, so it is difficult to see the overall progress of each learner.

Leaders have not made sure that there is a consistent approach to setting and monitoring progress against learners’ individual targets. On the foundation pathway, tutors set meaningful targets that link well to learners’ education, health and care plan outcomes and curriculum goals. Targets are well written and broken down into small step, and progress is thoroughly reviewed. Tutors capture well the progress learners make and identify suitable next steps. Learners make at least the progress expected of them. On the vocational pathway, however, targets are too broad and complex. Tutors do not review well enough the progress that learners make. In most instances, learners do not achieve their targets, and tutors do not suitably adjust them. It is not clear how much progress vocational learners make.

Additional next steps

Leaders and those responsible for governance must, in addition to the next steps raised at the provider’s previous full inspection:

p.4

Additional next steps

 Strengthen the further education and skills and SEND expertise at leadership and governance level.  Design and implement a high-quality and ambitious curriculum for learners on the vocational pathway.  Share best practice across the 2 curriculum pathways.

About this inspection

This is the first monitoring inspection following publication of the inspection report on 30 June 2025 which found the provider to be requires improvement overall.

p.4

About this inspection

The provider’s previous full inspection was carried out under the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) at that time. The renewed EIF took effect from 10 November 2025. The areas for improvement identified at the provider’s full inspection and subsequent monitoring inspection have been cross-referenced to relevant evaluation areas in the inspection toolkit for consideration on this monitoring inspection.

p.4

About this inspection

The purpose of this monitoring inspection was not to determine grades for any of the evaluation areas set out in the further education and skills inspection toolkit. The purpose was to identify and report on the provider’s progress in addressing the areas identified as needing to improve since the provider’s previous inspection.
