How well do programmes and activities meet the needs and interests of learners?

Effective practice that secures continuous improvement is evidenced by:

  • the extent to which courses or programmes match learners’ aspirations and potential, building on prior attainment and experience
  • how far programmes or the curriculum meet external requirements and are responsive to local circumstances

and, where appropriate, by:

  • the extent to which employers’ needs are met
  • the extent to which enrichment activities and/or extended services contribute to learners’ enjoyment and achievement.
