Capel Manor College, Enfield

Ofsted's report card from its 27 January 2026 inspection grades Capel Manor College on 6 areas: 1 strong standard and 5 expected standard. Report cards replaced single-word judgements in November 2025, on a five-point scale from exceptional to urgent improvement.

Contribution to meeting skills needs - Strong standard. "Leaders engage extensively and purposefully with employers, civic partners and sector bodies to gain a detailed understanding of local, regional and national green skills priorities."

Inclusion - Expected standard. "Leaders have established an inclusive culture across the college that notably enhances the lives and learning experiences of learners and apprentices."

Leadership and governance - Expected standard. "Senior leaders and governors have a clear and accurate understanding of their strengths and areas for development."

Achievement - Expected standard. "Most young learners achieve their qualifications and make substantial progress from their starting points."

Curriculum and teaching - Expected standard. "Leaders and teachers plan and sequence the curriculums well."

Participation and development - Expected standard. "Leaders have created calm and inclusive learning environments in which young learners, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, thrive and typically make good progress."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders should continue to provide training for teachers to ensure they improve their teaching and training skills, to achieve consistently high-quality teaching and training and support across all types of provision. • Leaders should improve the attendance and punctuality of young learners in GCSE English and mathematics lessons. • Leaders should focus on improving the progress that young learners studying GCSE mathematics make from their starting points, so that these learners achieve at least grade 4 or another grade higher. • Leaders should ensure that those apprentices who have experienced disruption to their learning receive the right teaching support to achieve their apprenticeship".

Of the 441 students who left the sixth form in 2023/24, 7% went on to university or other higher education, 3% to apprenticeships and 27% into work. 2% went to one of the most selective third of universities.
