Inclusion - Expected standard. "Leaders gather helpful information about students who have barriers to their learning, such as eligibility for free school meals, care experience or financial difficulties."

Leadership and governance - Expected standard. "Leaders and trustees have a clear vision to provide high-quality education for young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities in the Jewish community."

Achievement - Expected standard. "Students make appropriate progress towards achieving their personal goals, such as selecting and using kitchen equipment safely, washing their hands appropriately, sharing with peers, communicating effectively and making choices."

Curriculum and teaching - Expected standard. "Leaders have put in place a new, well-sequenced curriculum that supports students to become more independent and prepares them for adulthood."

Participation and development - Expected standard. "Leaders have created a college environment that is engaging and stimulating."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should be proactive in using data about the progress of disadvantaged students to make and implement evidence-informed adaptations to the inclusion strategy"; "Leaders and trustees should continue to monitor the quality of the curriculum accurately to ensure that students are quickly supported to become as independent as they are able"; "Leaders should ensure that teaching assistants do not over-support students in some activities, so that students can consistently build their confidence in communication and expand their friendship groups"; "Leaders should further develop the careers and work experience programme, implementing this throughout students' time at the college and allowing students to explore their interests throughout their time at college".

In its own words: "To provide an outstanding teaching and learning environment to ensure our young people are empowered to be as independent as possible."
