Ofsted Good!

HR_Graphics-02.jpg
In our first Ofsted inspection as a merged organisation in May 2025, we received a ‘Good’ rating in all 8 categories, along with the incredible result of making a “strong contribution to meeting skills needs”. Inspectors praised leaders, managers, governors and staff in “working swiftly to establish a collaborative culture that firmly places learners at the forefront of every decision they make”. Not only that, but we were also recognised for “helping learners and apprentices with their well-being and developing their confidence and resilience”.


We are proud to say that this is just the start of an exciting journey ahead. We are serious about positioning the College and our students for the future. We are Coastland.
