Looked After / Care Leaver Student Information

Weston College is proud to hold the Buttle UK Quality Mark. This means that we are committed to providing the best possible service to our looked after and care leaver students.

At Weston College we want you to achieve your full potential, so we have put together a support package to allow your time here to be as stress free as possible. We offer sensitive, confidential support and practical advice whilst having an understanding of your particular situation and needs. Academic support is available through your personal tutor and Library Plus. We can also signpost, and work with you, to access external agencies if needed.

Every six months, as a minimum, you will have your Personal Education Plan review, which will give you the opportunity to discuss anything you're unsure about or ask for some additional support. This can range from financial queries to home life. You will also be given educational targets set by your tutor and social worker to help you achieve.

If there is anything that you feel is a barrier to your learning or you have any concerns, then please come and speak to us by contacting your campus Welfare Officer. You can reach us by telephone on 01934 411 476  or by dropping into the Pastoral Suite at Knightstone Campus.

We look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy your time here at Weston College.

One Message, Different Voices

Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.

Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
