Summary
Greenbank College had problems around achievement on some long term programmes and was issued with a Notice to Improve for these areas. The College specialises in vocational courses for students with disabilities who might leave a programme for many different and valid reasons. Support from the Improvement and Development Service provided an expert check of data systems and their use and uncovered ways of adding data fields to reporting so that progression could be reported in detail. These reports provide invaluable information to management on effectiveness of courses and allow new students to see clearly where their predecessors have progressed to.
