CAPA College has had much to celebrate in recent years. With an alumnus in every major West End show, consistent 99% A*-C results, a ranking in the top 1% of all post-16 providers nationally for student progress, awards and accolades from the National Theatre, BBC, Sky TV and Arts Council England and almost 6 applicants for every place, CAPA College is already a tour de force in Arts Education; and it now adds Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ to its list of achievements.
During their visit at the end of January 2022, Ofsted were overwhelmed at the quality of education delivered by the teaching team at CAPA College (which is made up of specialist resident teachers and freelance artists; many of whom also have professional careers in the industry as actors, dancers, choreographers, directors, technicians and more).
From the support for students with special educational needs and disabilities, to governance, pastoral care, careers guidance and students’ attitude to learning, CAPA College was rated ‘Outstanding’ in all categories.
‘The energy and passion that staff have for their subject is infectious and creates a unique and special learning environment for all students to learn and thrive in…Student display exemplary attitudes to their studies. They are polite, motivated and well organised’ – Ofsted 2022
