College excellence highlighted in Ofsted report

Fazal Dad

We are immensely proud that our latest Ofsted report recognises the passion and commitment of our teaching and support staff in delivering an exceptional student experience.

We are particularly pleased that Ofsted has acknowledged our adult learning provision, 16-18 study programmes, behaviours, attitudes and personal development of our students – all of them rated ‘outstanding’.

This report is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone at Blackburn College, as we continue to provide the highest quality education for all our students.

Blackburn College is celebrating a fantastic Ofsted result that highlights its commitment to providing an outstanding learning environment, excellent student experience and strong employer partnerships.

The report reinforces what we already know – Blackburn is an exceptional place to study, work, and grow, where ambition is nurtured,
success is celebrated and futures are built.

With a strong ethos of academic excellence and personal development,
Blackburn College empowers its students to set ambitious goals and work hard to achieve them.

Year after year, its results continue to improve, reflecting the success
of its approach and further strengthening its reputation for excellence.

What Ofsted had to say 
• “Leaders collaborate exceptionally well with a wide range of employers and partners to ensure that they meet the future needs of key industries.”
• “Adult students make outstanding progress.”
• “Tutors and assessors are experts in their fields.”
• “Students’ lives are transformed.”
