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.

Weston College and University Centre Weston (UCW) has been awarded £216,305.08 through the UK Government’s Turing Scheme, opening life-changing international opportunities for learners across Further and Higher Education for this academic year.

The funding will support placements this academic year in Canada, the USA, Indonesia, and Thailand, giving students the chance to immerse themselves in new cultures, develop global citizenship skills, and gain hands-on industry experience.

Hudson’s Hope/Vancouver, Canada – Inclusive Practice learners will volunteer and gain work experience in a supportive community.

New York, USA – Creative and Health Industries learners will engage in workshops, networking and industry experiences.

Bali, Indonesia – Students will take part in sustainability and global citizenship projects. This trip will cost learners just £150.

Chiang Mai, Thailand – A second sustainability and citizenship placement. This trip will cost learners just £150.

New York, USA (UCW) – Performing Arts students will continue to build professional links with the Broadway Dance Centre.

Information for learners interested in these opportunities will be launched at the upcoming Freshers Fair on 23rd September 2025.

The Turing Scheme, the UK’s global programme for studying and working abroad, enables students—especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds—to gain the confidence, skills, and international experience that employers value.

Ben Knocks, Deputy Principal, said: “This funding is truly transformative. For many of our learners, these placements are opportunities they never imagined possible. The Turing Scheme gives our students the chance to develop professionally and personally in a way that is life changing.”

Principal and CEO, Pat Jones added: “We are proud that Weston College and University Centre Weston continues to be recognised with significant Turing funding. These projects will not only broaden horizons but also showcase the extraordinary potential of our students on the global stage.”
