  • Outstanding ESOL

  • Outstanding Capacity to Improve.
  • Outstanding promotion of Equality of Opportunity

Working Men's College was inspected in June 2008 and received a wonderful report from Ofsted. This puts us in the top 10% of Colleges inspected and has given us a tremendous boost.

This amazing success is all due to the immense dedication, commitment and professionalism put in by the College staff to ensure local people have a second chance, to our close involvement with the community and to the fantastic students who come to WMC. We are absolutely delighted with the results.

Presented below are the key findings of the inspectors, comments made to them by students, and the key challenges facing WMC in the future. The full report can be found under Available Downloads.
