Annual Report ANNUAL REPORT 2017/18 In October 2017, Ofsted inspectors endorsed the continuation of our very many strengths they identified at WELCOME full inspection in December 2014, where many areas were graded ‘Outstanding’. They also judged that any areas of comparative weakness had been overcome. This important result was followed by an excellent outcome from reviewers from the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for Higher Education who concluded their report in March 2018, that they had confidence in the quality of our many and growing Higher Education programmes. In addition, our students have excelled in bringing home a wealth of cups and medals from national skills competitions. The overwhelming majority of our students achieve and progress onto further and higher study or work, including Apprenticeships. Working in partnership has always been central to our work. This year has seen the successful move to University of Chichester as our primary validating partner for Higher Education.

  • Reigate College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Reigate College May 1996 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
