East Surrey College Ofsted Inspection

Congratulations to East Surrrey College on the recent Ofsted Inspection rating of ‘Good’ in all areas, with a ‘Strong’ for contribution to skills

This marks a significant achievement, as the College had been categorised as ‘Requires Improvement’ since 2022, so is testament to the dedication of the leadership, staff and students who have worked tirelessly to drive improvement and progress in further education in Redhill.

Notably, the Ofsted report enthused over our strong contribution to meeting skills needs, stating that, “Leaders work highly effectively with employers and key stakeholders across Surrey and its surrounding areas to identify their needs. They use this information to design curriculums that fill skills gaps, meet employers’ needs, and reduce barriers to education and employment”.

Lindsay Pamphilon, CEO and Principal, has expressed her pride in this achievement, saying “It has been a huge collective effort from the brilliant and dedicated staff we have at Orbital South Colleges, to showcase what we know we do well every day in supporting and inspiring our students to prepare them for employment. The icing on the cake was achieving a ‘Strong judgement’ for the area of skills, which acknowledges the breadth and depth of our links and partnerships with employers and stakeholders, ensuring that the skills needs of today are reflected in the curriculum and enrichment activities of the learners across all curriculum areas from construction and engineering to digital skills and creative industries.”
