Ofsted carried out a short inspection of EMBS Community College in June 2023 and found that EMBS continues to be a good provider.
We would like to thank all of our staff for the dedication, passion, and care that they show to all of our learners, for their quality of work, how well they support one another, and for their resilience and passion, that they show on a day to day basis.
Our Ofsted report included the following observations:
‘Learners are motivated by the high aspirations that leaders and staff promote for them, including the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They appreciate the passionate and skilled staff, who help.’
‘Learners enjoy their learning, which they have not been able to do previously, and almost all achieve their goals.
‘Learners value the inclusive and supportive environment at the college. Leaders provide a carefully considered space, which engages learners and helps them to feel comfortable’.
‘Learners benefit from highly effective support to enable them to develop their skills, knowledge and behaviours appropriately and prepare for the world of work.
‘Learners value the positive relationships they develop with staff, which makes them feel safe. They know they can share concerns with staff and trust that they will take swift and appropriate action to find resolutions’.
‘Teaching staff and youth workers are experts in their fields. Teaching staff use their knowledge successfully to explain topics clearly, break down tasks into simple steps and provide individual support where required.
‘The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders have ensured that the designated safeguarding leads (DSLs) are suitably trained and experienced to ensure that learners are safe. The DSLs record, monitor and manage safeguarding incidents well and work closely with other professionals until a resolution is found’.
We would like to thank all of our learners, staff and partners for their support, assistance and help.
