Hartpury College 2025-2026 Accountability Statement

> Business and Economic Profile: Much of Gloucestershire’s local skills needs are well documented in key regional strategic documentation such as Gloucestershire’s Skills Strategy 2022-2027, Gloucestershire’s Economic Strategy 2024-2034, and the Gloucestershire Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP). The Gloucestershire LSIP area is shown in Figure 1.2.

“Our ongoing work with Hartpury College as a key partner understanding the skills needed for the agri-food sector continues to excel; their support has been instrumental in both framing the discussion around emerging needs and technologies and engaging with employers. As their recent Ofsted inspection and retention of ‘Outstanding’ grade illustrates, they have embedded the principle of responsive, employer led provision and are ahead of the curve on business need.”
