3. Proportion of providers graded good or better at their last inspection

4. Proportion of providers graded good or better at their last inspection

5. Proportion of providers graded good or better at their last inspection

6. Changes in grade this year: all full inspections

7. Changes in grade this year: from requires improvement

8. Short inspections

9. Declining grade by provider type

10. The South East - positives
Proportionally, more providers are good and outstanding than England as a whole.
The proportion of providers graded good or better is increasing.
Apart from in London, more students achieve a level 2 qualification including English and maths by age 19 than in other regions.

Obvious pattern of study programmes grades being significantly lower, and having a negative impact on overall grades. Key factors here are English and maths, and to a lesser extent work experience.

13. The South East
Disadvantaged learners perform less well than in many parts of the country, and the gap in attainment between the disadvantaged and their peers is the largest in the country.
