LEEDS, U.K. - s4story -- The latest report awarded all areas of Primary, Secondary, and Further Education & Skills teacher training at the College as 'Good', including quality, leadership, and management.

An Ofsted inspection team of 10 conducted the rigorous assessment of the Margaret McMillan School of Education at Bradford College over four days. Inspectors spoke to a total of 101 trainees and staff in 27 different schools.

The report states:

"Trainees are well prepared for the day-to-day realities of the classroom […] so that trainees can apply the theories they have been taught. They learn how to manage behaviours and how to meet the wider needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Trainees receive strong guidance on how to support pupils who speak English as an additional language."

Inspectors also commended how staff consider the needs of disadvantaged trainees and recruit from a local area to meet the demand for teachers in Bradford. In addition, inspectors praised leaders who "use the views of trainees to inform future training and support […and] are considerate of trainees' workload and well-being.
