• Outcomes for learners
  
  Overall success rates for apprentices are above the national average and have remained so for the last three years. The number of apprentices who completed their programme within their planned timescale is also above the national average and has increased from the 2013 inspection due to increased amount of contact time. Success rates for learners in the workplace learning provision are also above the national average with the majority completing early or within their planned timescale.
