We are above the national average for students feeling they are listened to and treated with respect

Cambridge Regional College is above the national average when it comes to students feeling they are listened to and treated with respect, according to latest figures.

More than nine out of ten say teaching on their course is good and a similar number say they would recommend the college to friends.

The statistics come from a survey of student opinion at the college of teaching, learning and assessment.

Julia Chesters, Head of Quality Assurance, said: “These figures reflect a positive framework of learning for our students at Cambridge Regional College.

“In all areas the responses are higher than the national benchmark figures. We are particularly pleased to see the response rate at three quarters of students responding to the survey.”

Steve Rogers, Quality Assurance Manager, said: “This is a strong set of statistics that show our students are happy here.”

Steve said the survey provided the college with a great deal of positive feedback from the students.

He added that an impressive 92% of learners say they are treated fairly and with respect by college staff, compared to 87% nationally, and 94% say they know who to go to for help – which is 10% above the national benchmark.

Meanwhile, 91% of learners confirm that the college is a safe place to study.

These pleasing results are mirrored by those in our recent parent carer survey. One of the outcomes revealed that an impressive 98% recommend study at the college, he added.
