Periodic External Review (PER) Report

25th January 2024

Following visits by the Church of England's review team in November 2023, our PER Report has now been completed and published.

Cuddesdon was commended for our:

  • excellence of theological teaching, evidenced by the contextuality of modules, the student enjoyment and engagement in learning, the models of reflective practice embedded in local placement and global context, that permeates the depth and breadth of delivery across all pathways, resulting in a strong sense of theological excitement that was evidently sustained into curacy
  • supportive, caring and positive sense of community established within and across all pathways
  • the 'healthy and positive environment' which values diversity and students attested to across the various pathways
  • study skills provision and the learning support and assistance offered to those with learning, hearing and other disabilities
  • implementation of its model of collaboration and integration of learning in community
  • the variety of placements which provide multiple opportunities for students to grow in self-awareness and become formed through involvement with others and working in sometimes unfamiliar and uncomfortable situations
  • safeguarding procedures and practices
