The Source has developed its focus on apprenticeships in recent years, and the report reflected that. It said: “The overall achievement rate of apprentices has increased steadily over the last three years and, in 2015/16, was high.
"The proportion of apprentices who completed their qualifications by their planned end date was also high and well above that seen nationally.”
Inspectors noted the quality of employers that work with the academy and the effort of learners.
They praised 'good employers that provide apprentices with a rich vocational experience' and apprentices who were 'very keen to learn, highly motivated and capable of high-quality work'.
