Student Services and External Relations APM 5 and 6 appointments confirmed
January 12th, 2016
We are delighted to announce that, as part of Project Transform, the levels 5 and 6 appointments to the new Student Services and External Relations teams reporting to Breda Walls (Chief Student Management Officer) and Kerry Law (Chief Marketing and Communications Officer) have now been made. This provides an important foundation for delivering a truly excellent student experience.
These new appointments in Student Services follow on from the announcement in December of the APM level 7 positions whereby Clare Gough will lead the development of student services and Chris Hulse will lead the delivery of those services. The full APM levels 5-7 structures for the two departments, along with the new appointments, can be found on the Project Transform HR Workspace.
“I’m pleased to see the management structure for the new Student Services organisation coming together,” said Breda Walls, Chief Student Management Officer. “I’m confident that we’ve got the right team in place to support our staff and to provide a truly first class experience for our students. I very much look forward to working with these colleagues”.
Details on the process of appointing to the vacant posts will be communicated in the near future.

University’s Day Nursery is ‘outstanding’
January 7th, 2016
The University of Nottingham Day Nursery has once again been awarded an ‘outstanding’ rating by Ofsted.
Following an inspection carried out in December 2015, Ofsted rated the Day Nursery as ‘outstanding’ in every area, including leadership and management, quality of teaching, personal development, behaviour and welfare, and outcomes for children. The Day Nursery was last inspected by Ofsted in 2011, when it again received an ‘outstanding’ rating.
The report singled out for praise enthusiastic staff, the range of techniques used to keep the children ‘highly engaged’, a ‘highly stimulating and exciting’ environment, and excellent relationships with both children and parents. Read the full report on the Ofsted website (under ‘latest reports’).
Sue Mellors, Childcare Services Manager, said: “Childcare Services staff work very hard, are very dedicated and committed to offering the best care and education possible for the children and this clearly shone through during the recent inspection. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff, carers and parents for their hard work and on-going support.”
