"I am delighted with the leaps in 4* gradings from the last exercise in 2014, including a tripling of 4* ratings of outputs and environment. This has been rewarded with a pleasing rise in national positions, including achieving top 50 indicators for outputs, impact and environment. This represents substantial progress since REF2014."
