Quality Assurance & Improvement

In the session 2007/2008, the College’s learning and teaching strategy was informed by the HMIe Review which took place in February 2007.  A detailed Quality Improvement Action Plan was developed and became a key focus over the 2007/08 session.  All targets were undertaken successfully with five continuing quality improvement themes highlighted by the college. 

These are:

  • Widening Access: Admissions & Recruitment; Guidance & pre-entry information
  • Retention, Attainment, Achievement
  • Continuing professional development & curriculum development
  • Communication of strategy
  • Cross college self evaluation

The College’s Quality Assurance and Improvement Unit has worked successfully on a range of priorities over the session.

These priorities included:

  • Working with the College’s Schools to set specific targets in line with achieving key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Communication of policies & procedures via the College Intranet
  • Revised approach to Core Skills
  • Awareness raising of  the Scottish Government’s report ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’
