As a College we take the views of our students very seriously, and this questionnaire gives you the opportunity to feed back directly to us what you feel about the teaching, resources and care for students here. It also gives you space to comment in more detail about the issues that you feel are particularly important, both where there are aspects of the College that you value highly and where there are things you feel we should do something about.

The results from this survey will be discussed by Course teams as a part of their annual reviews, as well as by support areas of the College such as estates and other resource areas such as workshops. They will also be discussed in detail by the senior management of the College, and the Board of Governors will also see them with responses and actions agreed by the College. I will also make sure that the results, and what we plan to do in response, are fed back to your student representatives.

But the accuracy of the questionnaire is almost entirely down to the numbers of students who take the time to complete it honestly and fairly, and so I would ask you to take a few minutes to do so. In turn I promise you on behalf of the College that we will listen to your views and act on them where we reasonably can.

With thanks for your help
