The visit provided valuable information which will contribute to our national evaluation and reporting. This report, which will be produced in the summer of 2008, will highlight good practice and identify improvements to be made. Published reports are likely to list the names of the contributing institutions, but individual institutions will not be identified in the main text.

Ofsted survey inspection programme – 14-19 reforms
Kendal College is committed to working in partnership with providers and has taken the lead in the young apprentice initiatives in the area. The college offers a good range vocational of courses that enhance choices for young people in Key Stage 4 and post 16. However, some young people cannot access vocational courses in Key Stage 4 due to timetable clashes. A very effective skills assessment and selection system has been developed jointly by college and school staff at a joint staff development event.

Ofsted survey inspection programme – 14-19 reforms
Students achieve well and their personal development is very good. Progression from vocational courses for pupils aged 14 to 16 onto full-time vocational programmes at 16 is very good. However, in the South Lakes Federation there is insufficient promotion and use of the on-line prospectus to facilitate impartial advice and guidance for all pupils.
