Learners, employers, staff and governors from Abbeydale Vet Nurse Training are celebrating after being rated “good” by Ofsted.
The training provider – which was formed in 2001 and offers teaching and support for VNs and practices in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Worcestershire, and south/west Wales regions – was judged as a “good school” after an inspection on 12 May 2022.
This was Abbeydale’s first full inspection as a training provider, which, it said, makes this grade particularly special and a superb achievement.
The inspectors were particularly impressed by the centre’s curriculum, which reflects current industry practice, its ability to link on and off-the-job training, and how senior leaders and tutors support apprentices to understand career pathways.
Abbeydale directors Kirsty Gwynne and Sam Morgan said: “We are proud that our hard work has been recognised in this way. It is a team effort here at Abbeydale, and it is a combination of all our tutors, learners, employers, clinical coaches and governance boards’ input to ensure our provision is fit for purpose.”
