1. INTRODUCTION
This document provides Hull City Council and its internal and external stakeholders with an overview of how education, learning and skills providers within the Hull local authority boundary are performing against the Ofsted inspection framework.
The providers listed in this document are those that receive public funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and deliver one or more of study programme, traineeship and/or apprenticeship provision.
The report does not include details of commercially financed providers, adult education provision or employers with non-accredited provision.
It contains an overview of Ofsted’s Annual Report on further education and skills and sets this in context against the local profile of post-16 training provision in Hull allowing readers to gain an understanding of how Hull is performing against national statistical norms.
It also contains details of sub-contracted post-16 provision. Sub-contracted provision is where providers are contracted to deliver on behalf of another organisation. The quality of this sub- contracted provision is judged by the Ofsted rating of the provider issuing the sub-contract or “prime contract holder”. A detailed breakdown of Ofsted results for the prime contract holders sub- contracting provision to Hull based post-16 providers is included in this report.
2. THE NATIONAL PICTURE
The further education and skills sector is mainly made up of independent learning providers, colleges and community learning and skills providers. The sector provides education, training and apprenticeships to around 2.9 million learners aged 16 and over.
On 31st August 2020, there were just over 1,900 open and funded further education and skills providers. This is a decrease of 2% compared with 31st August 2019 but a 60% increase compared with 2017. Most of the increase relates to new independent learning providers providing levy- funded apprenticeships.
The number of independent learning providers, which include employer providers, more than doubled. The impact of COVID-19 on the further education sector remains to be seen however almost all of the providers remained in Ofsted’s systems between February and August 2020.
Page 5 of 21
Figure 1: Number of further education and skills providers, inspections and monitoring visits in 2019/20.
Independent learning providers represent the largest number of further education and skills providers. General further education colleges educate by far the largest number of learners: over 1.4 million in 2019 (almost 50% of learners).
The type of provision that further education and skills providers offer varies. General further education colleges usually provide all types. In independent learning providers, apprentices account for over two thirds of learners and in community learning and skills providers, nine out of 10 learners are taking adult education courses. Provision for learners with high needs can potentially be offered by all further education and skills provider types.
The vast majority of further education and skills provision is delivered by directly funded providers. However, published data shows that approximately 14% of funding was used to pay sub- contractors working on behalf of the directly funded provider.

Figure 2: National make-up of provision by provider type at 31st August 2020.
In 2015, the government began a review of post-16 education and training institutions in England, which resulted in a series of structural changes such as mergers. On 31st August 2015 there were just over 200 general further education colleges recorded on Ofsted’s systems. Since then, nearly 100 colleges have been through a merger. This has reduced the number of colleges Ofsted reports on to nearly 170. Most outstanding colleges did not merge (25 out of 34). Around half of the colleges judged either good, requires improvement or inadequate went through the merger process.
Ninety-two of the general further education colleges that did not merge have been re-inspected and 72% were judged good or outstanding. Ofsted have inspected 26 of the 46 colleges that were newly formed from a merger. Sixty-five per cent (17) were judged good or outstanding, and the remaining colleges judged requires improvement. Currently, this grade profile is lower than the original profile before the mergers, but nearly half of the merged colleges are yet to be inspected.
Inspection outcomes
In September 2019, Ofsted began inspecting under the Education Inspection Framework. Inspections paused in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Most recent Inspections
Overall, 80% of further education and skills providers have been judged good or outstanding at their most recent inspection. This is a decrease of one percentage point compared with last year.
Page 7 of 21
Figure 3: Overall effectiveness of further education and skills providers at 31st August 2020.
The proportion of independent learning providers judged good or outstanding declined for the fourth consecutive year. In contrast, the proportion of community learning and skills providers judged good or outstanding continued to increase.
Figure 4: Proportion of providers judged good or outstanding for overall effectiveness at their most recent inspection by provider type and over time.
2019/20 inspections
Between September 2019 and August 2020 Ofsted inspected just over 200 further education and skills providers. The last inspection was carried out in March 2020, before COVID-19 paused inspection activity. Of those inspected, 68% were judged to be good or outstanding: 14% higher than in 2018/19. This was largely due to a higher proportion of short inspections (of providers previously judged good that remained good) this year.
Page 8 of 21
Last year, Ofsted carried out far fewer short inspections, because the first three-year cycle of short inspections came to an end and they carried out a large number of new provider monitoring visits. The proportion judged good or outstanding this year is similar to the 2017/18 figure of 70%.
Figure 5: Further education and skills providers’ full and short inspection outcomes by academic year.
Around 150 inspections in 2019/20 were full inspections. Fifty-seven per cent of providers were judged good or outstanding. All key judgements, with the exception of apprenticeships, had similar or higher proportions of good or outstanding. Providers with effectiveness judgements less than good often see positive recognition in other areas such as behaviour and attitudes and personal development. Adult learning programmes had the highest proportion of good or outstanding judgements. These providers did really well at working with local authorities, local employment partnerships and other stakeholder groups in their areas to make sure that what they offer their learners is closely aligned to the real skills needed and employment opportunities.

Figure 6: Overall effectiveness and key judgements of further education and skills providers from full inspections, 2019/20.
This year Ofsted inspected, for the first time, 50 providers that had previously had a new provider monitoring visit. Of the providers that were judged to be making reasonable or significant progress across all themes at their new provider monitoring visit, over three quarters were judged good at their first inspection. The four providers previously judged insufficient across all themes were all judged inadequate.
Figure 7: Overall effectiveness at first full inspection between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 by new provider monitoring visit outcomes.
Page 10 of 21
In 2019/20 the proportion of providers that received at least one insufficient progress judgement at their new provider monitoring visits increased by four percentage points to 24%. Compared with 2018/19, a higher proportion of new providers did not ensure that there were appropriate arrangements in place to provide effective training or learning with a clearly defined purpose. Some of the main issues found by Ofsted included: Staff not collecting or using the results of assessments completed at the start of the programme to plan a challenging curriculum Staff not ensuring a logical sequence to the curriculum Leaders, managers and staff not ensuring that apprentices receive their entitlement to planned on- and off-the-job training Staff not training apprentices to develop enough new knowledge, skills and behaviours as part of their apprenticeship, instead merely accrediting existing skills that they already have.

3. THE LOCAL PICTURE
3.1 Overall provision
The overall quality of Hull’s post-16 provision has improved slightly since the previous version of this report was published. A detailed overview for 2020-2021 is shown below with figures from 2019-2020 included for comparison.

Of the six outstanding providers, two are specialist post-16 provision, one is a University Technical College, one is a national apprenticeship provider and one is a school 6th form. East Riding College has merged with the Grimsby Institute for Further & Higher Education to form the TEC Partnership which also carries an outstanding rating.
The majority of provision in Hull is rated as good and is a mixture of further education college sub- contracted provision, sixth form colleges, a school sixth form, independent learning providers and specialist post-16 provision.
Hull’s further education college, two school sixth forms and three independent learning providers are rated requires improvement.
There is no inadequate provision in Hull at post-16.

3.8 Ofsted inspection results for sub-contracted or supporting providers operating in Hull
Where a provider delivers study programme on behalf of another organisation their provision is classed as being sub-contracted. Where a provider delivers apprenticeship provision on behalf of another organisation they are classed as a supporting provider. If it is the case that the provider being sub-contracted does not have its own contract with a funding body, the quality of that provision is determined by the Ofsted rating of the organisation doing the sub-contracting. Figure 18 below gives a detailed breakdown of Ofsted results for providers delivering in Hull on a sub- contracted or supporting basis and the organisations to which they are sub-contracted.
