As an independent learning provider that specialises in training technical skills for the fashion sector we are inspected and reviewed by Ofsted. On the 1st July our latest Ofsted Provider Monitoring Report was published and we are thrilled to say we have a set of impressive results in meeting all the requirements for a successful apprenticeship provision and ensuring apprentices benefit from high quality training that leads to positive outcomes.
The three key areas reviewed include:
- How much progress have leaders made in ensuring that the provider is meeting all the requirements of successful apprenticeship provision? – Significant Progress (highest accolade)
- What progress have leaders and managers made in ensuring that apprentices benefit from high quality training that leads to positive outcomes for apprentices? – Significant Progress
- How much progress have leaders and managers made in ensuring that effective safeguarding arrangements are in place? – Reasonable Progress
Fashion Enter CEO Jenny Holloway comments: “This was an excellent result for the team for this moderation visit by Ofsted. I am immensely proud of every single team member at the FTA. From three themes we were awarded two ‘Significant Progress’ (highest accolade) and one ‘Reasonable Progress’ and that reflects how hard we all work to put each learner first in their quest for industrial knowledge. I went back to night school myself for four years because I had to understand how education works – at the time it was hard work but I’m so glad I invested time doing this. I totally appreciate the teaching and quality assurance staff of all FE colleges!”
