College Delight at National Achievement Rates Data
Craven College is celebrating fantastic achievement rates, having been ranked number 1 for our Apprenticeship provision and third for our 16-18 provision in the whole of Yorkshire and Humber.
The College’s 16-18 provision has ranked number 1 in North Yorkshire whilst our apprenticeship provision has been ranked an amazing 12th nationally out of 153 providers in the country.
These achievement rates have been taken from the recent release of the 2023/2024 National Achievement Rates Table (NART) data.
Our overall performance in the National Achievement Rates shows the strong position of the institution as an educational provider, showing results that are substantially above national average across 16-18 provision and above national average for adult education. The pass rates in January BTEC examinations increased, together with an increase in students achieving merit grades since last year. Over the last 10 years, Craven College has consistently maintained success and achievement rates for apprenticeships that are within the top 10% in the country and has increased its achievement rates by 4.1% since last year to 71.1%.
Anita Lall, Principal and CEO commented “I am delighted with College’s performance in the National Achievement Rates. I am really proud of the hard work of our students and the dedication and commitment of all our staff. Our strong results once again demonstrate our ongoing vision of being exceptional in everything we do.”
Gemma Conti, Head of Quality and Professional Development, “The data taken from the published National Achievement Rates is testament to the hard work of staff and students throughout all College areas. It is particularly pleasing to see that our achievement rates across the board are above the national average really cementing how we serve our communities by delivering high quality education and training.”
Richard Swires, Apprenticeship Manager said “We are delighted with the results and a big thank you to all the staff involved who support, teach and assess our Apprentices. Central to our high achievements are committed staff who constantly go above and beyond to ensure progress and success. I would also like to thank the local employers who continue to support the College and Apprenticeship training despite the challenges they face as costs of employment increase.”
