Life at College

Personal Development
All full-time students will be given the opportunity to participate in enrichment activities once a week. There's loads on offer including driving test theory, guitar group, running club, languages, first aid, yoga, motor cycle maintenance, live jam sessions and more. More information on enrichment activities.

For anyone who has good communication and listening skills, and would like to gain an extra qualification, we are often looking for students who can act as Student Ambassadors and Peer Mentors to help others who may be struggling at College.

Learner Voice
We always like to listen to what our students have to say and are committed to engaging students in providing feedback which we can use to improve our teaching, services and environment. Our Student Forum meets regularly to discuss a wide range of topics. With a representative from each school area, it's your chance to have an input into the running of the College. We also survey students on a regular basis through a combination of voting boxes and student surveys.

Student Events
There are a wide range of events throughout the year. This includes Freshers Fair, to introduce you to College life and the services available in the local area, to activities such as No Smoking Day and sales of plants and cards. Some of our big events include the Annual Hair & Beauty Competition, a full day extravaganza with external judges, through to the Annual Art Show, which publicly showcases work from the Art & Design department.

Fundraising
Many events relate to fundraising activities which have been organised by students. Activities include Red Nose Day and Children in Need through to the annual Animal Care Bonanza Day in aid of animal charities.

Achievement Awards
Each year sees award celebrations for the learners who achieve most. There are awards ceremonies for both Adult Learners, during Adult Learners' Week, and younger students at the end of the College year. These are always well attended events in which you can celebrate success with your family and friends.
