PGCE with a provider that "requires improvment"

A few days ago, Ofsted released their report for Durham University's teacher training. The grade they received for each part, and overall, was "requires improvement".

My DD had accepted an offer for Durham. Is this going to be a major issue for her when she tries to find work afterward, or will it just be a bit of a warning to her that she really needs to work hard as the training she gets may not be the best?

Literally no school will even know about the Ofsted grade her training provider got, let alone care about it.

I don't think who you train with plays any part in getting your first job. Your references and most importantly your lesson and performance on interview day will be the main thing employer's will be interested in. Any educational organisation in RI is usually going to be working their socks off to do a good job and improve so she should get a good experience.

No school will care. Its more about how they teach and interview on the day.

This is what I thought. Ofsted reports of training providers don't seem to be well advertised. Literally nothing about Durham's new report is anywhere apart from on Ofsted's website.

I believe they are joining with Newcastle who are graded good(?) for the coming academic year. But as PPs have said, no one will be interested.
