One complaint about the OfS is it’s hard to tell what it’s doing. That’s particularly the case with the register - which is clunky and they invite you to browse it to see what’s changed. Here I mourn the end of the monthly bulletin of regulatory activity. moremeansbetter.wordpress.com/2025/09/03/how…

Here’s a breach of planning permission in plain sight. Beech House was given permission with a condition about landscaping. This was to ensure a high quality landscape. @Unite_Student had never fully followed through, but has just dug it all up and laid gravel.
OfS Register News: there are new conditions that new HE providers must meet if they want to join the register when applications reopen on 28 August. wonkhe.com/blogs/youre-no…
Whether higher education is affordable is actually raised on @BBCNews - the post 16 review will look at this, but looks there’s no prospect of shifting from income contingent loans. #UCAS
A brief mention of today’s announcement on skills, but the rest of the interview is on small boats. Nothing on the big issues of higher education, including student support, which is in the minister’s actual portfolio.

Initially refused OfS registration because of concerns about its financial viability, Spurgeon’s College is closing its courses and going into liquidation. spurgeons.ac.uk
A post where I recommend a visit to @ChCh_Oxford this summer to see the items in the Cardinal’s College exhibition- an access scheme started 500 years ago by Thomas Wolsey. #histed moremeansbetter.wordpress.com/2025/07/24/an-…
Former sites of HE providers can illustrate change. In Glasgow there’s been a complex series of changes, with moves and mergers. I had a look at some buildings as examples: moremeansbetter.wordpress.com/2025/06/16/ins…
So, farewell then @WaterstonesOxf. We’re delighted you’re only moving from Cornmarket to Queen Street, but this is the building that the kids progressed from Children to Young Adult to Adult reading (and purchasing) in.
If the EU/UK deal includes youth mobility - then we should actively look at joining Erasmus+ as an associate. That doesn’t necessarily mean stopping Turing. A blog after talking to some exchange students in Germany: moremeansbetter.wordpress.com/2025/05/19/is-…
