Ravensbourne college has been commended for excellent teaching and learning quality by the Government.

The college at the Greenwich Peninsula received a silver award for its quality of teaching from the Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).

The institution, which specialises in digital media and design, was commended for its commitment to widening participation and recruiting students from a diverse range of backgrounds.

It was also commended for high levels of practice-based approaches to learning such as industry projects, combined with excellent digital resources.

The Higher Education Funding Council for England who handed out the award also stated that these factors have helped result in graduates’ 95.3 per cent employability rate.

Linda Drew, director, said: “I’m extremely proud of this achievement which is a very positive step for Ravensbourne. This award supports the reputation we have established of distinctive excellence in the creative industries.

“I’d like to pay tribute to all colleagues who have been recognised for their contributions to outstanding teaching which has resulted in excellent outcomes for our students.”
