Last week, our Esports society students, the Weston Waveriders, competed in a three-day inter-college LAN Esports tournament, the #TakeYourShot challenge. This was an opportunity for our students to compete against like-minded students from other colleges and build their skills in a high-pressure environment.

Recently, our Construction learners delivered several high-quality flowerbeds to Weston Hospital for their Sanctuary Garden as part of the students’ Growth & Grace Community Action Project, creating a space that patients and staff can visit filled with plants and flowers that have been grown on site. 

At just 19, Ellie is already building a career shaped by travel, people, and new experiences. A former student of Weston College, she now works as a customer care agent at Bristol Airport while also spending her summers working at a camp in the United States. 

On Thursday 26th March, learners at Weston Bay hosted an impressive Art Exhibition, named ‘Seeing Beneath the Surface’. The purpose of the exhibition was to celebrate the creativity, lived experiences, and self‑expression of our neurodiverse learners.

This week, Weston College celebrated the fantastic achievements of our learners by hosting a Student Conference, bringing together our Student Reps, Student Leadership Team and nominated students to recognise their hard work and commitment so far this academic year.

Weston College is proud to celebrate an exceptional achievement within its Law and Professional Services Faculty, with students attaining an impressive 95% pass rate in the recent CILEx CPQ assessments. This significantly surpasses the national average of 84%, highlighting both the dedication of our learners and the outstanding quality of teaching, support, and guidance provided throughout their studies.

This week, one of our Level 3 Uniformed Protective Services learners, Jess, is taking part in a Walk for Autism challenge where she will walk 10,000 steps a day for 8 days from 26th March – 2nd April, 80,000 steps in total, raising money for autism initiatives such as specialised projects, education, and social opportunities. 

This month, Weston College celebrated Raising and Giving (RAG) Week with the theme of the Wild West. The themed event gave everyone the chance to organise games, activities, and raffles in support of two incredible charities: Weston Hospicecare and UNICEF.
