QAA Higher Education Review - May 2020

In June 2016, Oak Hill College underwent a Higher Education Review (Alternative Providers) by the Quality Assurance Agency. In its final report, which is available here, the QAA made the following judgements about the College and its provision:  

The maintenance of the academic standards of awards offered on behalf of its degree-awarding body meets UK expectations.

  • The quality of student learning opportunities meets UK expectations.

  • The quality of information about learning opportunities meets UK expectations.

  • The enhancement of student learning opportunities meets UK expectations.

The College produced an Action Plan in response to the recommendations made in the 2016 Report, which has been continuously updated ever since: the latest version (February 2020) is attached here.

Since the original Review, the College has received two Annual Monitoring Visits, during which the QAA concluded that the College was making commendable (2017) followed by acceptable (2019) progress with continuing to monitor, review and enhance its higher education provision: reports from both visits are available here.

If you have any questions about the College's relationship with the QAA or about the College's Action Plan, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Church of England Periodic External Review - July 2022

In March of 2022, Oak Hill underwent its six-yearly Periodic External Review (PER, formerly known as the Bishops’ Inspection) with the Church of England. The outcome of the review has now been published on the Church of England website.

We are very grateful to the reviewers for their preparation, visits, and subsequent report writing. We’re delighted that in their view “Oak Hill College occupies a unique position in ministerial training for the Church of England, providing high quality formation in the evangelical protestant tradition.”

The report outlines the areas covered by the review, making a series of commendations and helpful recommendations. We would be grateful for your prayers as we now set to work, reflecting on the report and considering how best to implement its recommendations.
