The education watchdog recognised improvements at TCAT, taking it out of the grade four ‘inadequate’ category following a four-day visit from an 11-strong team of Ofsted inspectors earlier this month.

“Students and apprentices develop good levels of practical, personal and social skills that prepare them well for the world of work,” says the new report.

“Students are conscientious and hard-working, and are keen to learn. Teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their subjects, and students value the support and encouragement that they receive.”

TCAT’s principal Graham Guest said: “It is excellent to see that the efforts of our hard-working staff over the last 12 months have been recognised – they are the people who have delivered these improvements.
