These are some of the things Ofsted said about the College in the March 2016 Ofsted Inspection Report:
"Equality of opportunity is well promoted throughout the college. Managers have eliminated achievement gaps between different groups of students through careful monitoring and appropriate interventions."
"Relationships between students and staff are very positive in the vast majority of classes, in other learning spaces and in social areas of the college. Students enjoy their time at college and feel part of a strong community."
"Students show respect for their teachers and each other and improve their levels of confidence. They gain good independent thinking and learning skills and contribute well to group discussions."
"Students and staff consistently treat each other’s diverse backgrounds and views with respect. The recent initiative to encourage philosophical debate around contentious issues contributes to their understanding and tolerance of each other and to a safe and harmonious atmosphere throughout the college. Through this debate, teachers promote British values well."
Central Bedfordshire College is a proud holder of Investors in Diversity status, awarded by the National Centre for Diversity.
