What This School Does Well
Roehampton University delivers high-quality nursing training with experienced clinical staff who make learning practical and engaging. The university is committed to helping healthcare workers progress their careers, with apprentices developing strong clinical skills and most achieving their qualification on the first attempt. By offering training at multiple locations, the university makes the apprenticeship accessible to students who cannot travel far.
Key Strengths
- Experienced lecturers who are registered nurses use practical demonstrations and guest speakers effectively to teach diverse clinical skills
- All apprentices studying functional skills pass their exams on the first attempt, with targeted support provided early in their apprenticeship
- Leaders are ambitious and actively promote social mobility by delivering training at both the university and a local college so apprentices can train where they live and work
- Apprentices develop strong practical skills in wound care, patient communication, and understanding of vital signs
- Effective continuous professional development supports lecturers, including help gaining higher education teaching qualifications
Areas for Improvement
- Progress review targets are not challenging or meaningful enough, so apprentices and employers are unclear on how to improve
- Teachers do not use initial assessments of apprentices' abilities to adapt teaching, resulting in some apprentices covering topics they already know or struggling with the level
- Apprentices do not have a detailed enough understanding of risks associated with radicalisation and extremist views, particularly those studying at the local college
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective; apprentices feel safe and know how to report concerns, although understanding of radicalisation risks needs strengthening.
Extracurricular Activities
Mock interviews, guest speakers from healthcare specialties, counselling support for apprentices
Roehampton University offers a level 5 nursing associate apprenticeship to 61 adult apprentices, delivering teaching through face-to-face lectures and seminars at the university and Croydon College. The apprenticeship has been rated as Good overall, with effective leadership and good quality education.
