MATRIX QUALITY STANDARD

Following our successful Ofsted inspection, Summerhouse has now achieved the ‘Matrix Quality Standard’ in November 2009

The matrix Standard is the unique quality framework for the effective delivery of information, advice and/or guidance on learning and work. The matrix Standard is useful for organisations that deliver information, advice and/or guidance to external clients as part of their business and also for employers who are committed to developing their people.

The Matrix assessor stated that we are the only organisation to be awarded 5 strengths in our delivery of IAG (information advice and guidance)


SUMMERHOUSE SCORES A HAT TRICK AT OFSTED INSPECTION

Summerhouse has received a glowing praise from Ofsted @ their September 2009 Inspection. This resulted in being awarded a “Grade 1” for the third time in Inspections over the last 10 years.

The report highlighted outcomes at the Equine Centre as “outstanding” with success rates for qualifications @ 80% in 08/09 (12% above national rate). Staff were found to be well qualified & very well experienced in a breadth of different aspects of the horse industry.

In the report, every area of the Centre was graded as either “good” or “outstanding” with no “weaknesses” to address. There are currently a total of 57 full time students working towards Apprenticeships in Horse Care plus a further 22 students on a part time NVQ course.

If you would like to join our successful NVQ programme please speak to Irma Sutton or Helen Munro on 01452 720288 or email admin@summerhouseec.co.uk
