Ofsted inspection 2008
Ofsted inspection 2008
We've always believed that inspection, however challenging,
gives us a real opportunity to demonstrate what we do and what is
achieved here throughout the year. The College was inspected in
2004, when it was judged to be ‘Outstanding’. When Ofsted returned
in 2008; they concluded that the College had further improved and
had joined a handful of colleges - and the only FE College in
London - judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in every single measure.
