School Leavers - Welcome

Welcome to Weston College

It's an exciting time to be joining us at Weston College.

Weston College's exam and course results are consistently above the national average and last year positioned us as the top College in the West of England. Our record breaking A Level pass rate of 100% and 99.2% over the last two years and our BTEC National and BTEC First Diploma pass rates of 100% reflect the academic excellence of our students and the commitment and ability of our teaching staff.

We continue to offer a wide range of courses to ensure that you develop the skills that employers and universities are looking for. We offer more than 100 vocational courses, over 35 A Levels and an ever increasing range of very popular apprenticeships.

When our students complete their qualifications they progress to employment or Higher Education. We are the only education provider on your doorstep in North Somerset to be able to give you the opportunity to progress from an entry level course to a degree. Whatever you choose to do, your time spent at Weston will increase your skills, boost your confidence and open up major opportunities for your future.

Over the last three years we have invested heavily in our buildings and facilities to ensure we offer our students the best possible resources in the South West. Our new state-of-the-art University Campus opened in September 2007 and houses Arts, Media, Design, Music and a Sixth Form Centre. It also houses degree level education delivered in partnership with Bath Spa University.

Weston College's Knightstone Campus also includes the latest technologies and state-of-the-art facilities including an industry standard fitness suite and gym, world class training kitchens and restaurants as well as a new Learning Resource Centre.

In 2008 we received an exceptional Ofsted report which praised our rich and varied curriculum and described the support we give our students as "outstanding".

I am very proud of all that Weston College offers to our students. Exciting courses, superb facilities and innovative methods of delivery ensure you have the opportunity to achieve great success.

I look forward to welcoming you to the College in the near future.

Principal and Chief Executive
