Ofsted survey inspection programme – 14-19 reforms
City College Plymouth has demonstrated strong commitment to working productively with its partners, and is making a very good contribution to 14-19 developments across Plymouth. The college provides a good and successful range of provision for 14-16 year olds and has also taken an active role in developing the engineering and construction Diplomas.

Ofsted survey inspection programme – 14-19 reforms
The college provides a good range of industry standard equipment and specialist resources and training aids. Links with engineering employers are wide ranging and they contribute well to the range of specialist resources available to learners. However, plans are insufficiently clear as to how and when employers will contribute to the delivery of specific Diploma units.
