COVENTRY’S adult education service has retained its ‘Good’ Ofsted rating in its latest inspection.
Staff and learners at Coventry City Council’s Adult Education Service are celebrating following the visit from the government inspectorate in February.
Five Ofsted inspectors attended adult education classes, speaking with learners and analysing survey results before granting the overall ‘Good’ grading.
Inspectors praised the service’s broad selection of local classes, noting how learners benefited from knowledgeable and experienced tutors who imparted the understanding, abilities and attitudes necessary for them to advance in the future with academic pursuits, apprenticeships or personal development.
During the four-day inspection, Ofsted also recognised how learners and apprentices enjoyed classes and gained confidence.
Kim Mawby, head of employment and skills at Coventry City Council said: “I am really pleased Ofsted has recognised the positive impact the council’s Adult Education Service is having on residents in Coventry.
“The wide range of courses available and the excellent standards of teaching ensure the provision makes a difference to people’s lives, whether that be helping residents find employment, progressing in their careers or supporting their wellbeing.
“Congratulations to everyone in the Adult Education Service for this fantastic achievement.”
