Our latest Ofsted grade (as part of Durham County Council Adult Learning & Skills Service provision) was ‘Good’
An extract from the report is below-the full report can be read here
Teaching, learning and assessment in community learning are good because:
a very high proportion of learners successfully complete their courses, making significant gains in self-esteem, confidence, communication and personal and social skills. Learners are proud of work of high standards and make good progress from their starting points
learners place a very high value on community learning and many describe it as therapeutic or life changing;
support for learners is very good; teaching is very supportive and motivates learners to have high expectations of their learning and employability and to develop independent learning
learners benefit from additional support when required including mentoring, team teaching or one-to-one tutorials or guidance sessions; highly motivated and committed tutors provide much inspiration leading to enthusiastic participation; good classroom management in a session for reluctant learners helps them all to contribute fully to discussions
tutors incorporate a good range of teaching strategies to reinforce learning well; such as thorough checking of understanding, good use of praise, maintaining good learner involvement, clear and patient explanations
tutors have a good understanding of the learners and develop trusting relationships encouraging them to make good contributions to discussions and reflect appropriately on their own experiences and prior learning; learners generally have good access to information, advice and guidance about choices and progression to other courses
