Report of the Principal.

A report of the Principal set out the activities of the Board during the last academic year including its consideration of the assessment outcomes and External Examiner comments from the most recent assessment cycles 2011/12, and two equality-strand analyses of the data for the 2011 admissions cycle and the 2010/11 assessment cycle. 

The Assistant Principal (Research & Academic Development) presented this item explaining that there were strong outcomes in degree classifications and in the NSS Survey. A discussion took place on the “you said: we did” campaign. It was noted that the campaign would aim to increase student engagement and that the participation in the NSS Survey had increased.

In relation to student disciplinary cases it was noted that these had amounted to 1% of the student population and were not a major area of concern.
