  • The New and the Old: the University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar
    1 For: Jill Pellew and Miles Taylor (eds.), The Utopian Universities: A Global History of the New Campuses of the 1960s “The New and the Old: The University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar Foundations and New Formations1 It all began with a name. A new university was to be founded in the county of Kent.2 Where to put it? In the end, the overwhelming preference was for the ancient cathedral city of Canterbury. But that choice of site was by no means uncontested. There was no lack of alternatives. Ashford, Dover, and Folkestone all put in bids. The Isle of Thanet in East Kent was for some time a strong contender, and its large seaside town of Margate, with its many holiday homes, undoubtedly seemed a better prospect than Canterbury for the provision of student accommodation, in the early years at least. Ramsgate too, with a large disused airport, was another strongly- urged site in Thanet. But as far back as 1947, Canterbury had been proposed as the site of a new university in the county. That proposal got nowhere, but the idea that Canterbury – rather than say Maidstone, the county capital, or anywhere else in Kent – should be the place where and when a new university was founded had caught the imagination of many in the county. Thanet might, from a practical point of view, have been the better site. But it lacked the cultural significance and the wealth of historical associations of the city of Canterbury. Moreover the University of Thanet, or the University of Margate or Ramsgate, did not have quite the same ring to it as the University of Kent or the University of Canterbury.3 That at least was the strong opinion of the two bodies that brought the University into being, the Steering Committee of Kent County Council and the group of the great and the good in the county that came together as “Sponsors of the University of Kent”- most prominent among them being its chairman, Lord Cornwallis, Lord Lieutenant of Kent and former chairman of Kent County Council.4 2 Canterbury having been chosen as the site, what to call the new foundation? That proved trickier.

    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE South Kent College January 1996 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected.

During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.
