College Handbook

I am very pleased to welcome you as a Weston College student for the 2023 academic year.

As the top performing college in the region, we put significant effort into providing you with a dynamic and focussed set of learning experiences and you can be assured of brilliant and inspirational teaching matched with the expertise of our ‘Career Excellence Hubs’ which will provide you with unique opportunities to gain insight into careers alongside job ready skills.

As a College, we ask that you commit time, energy and effort to your studies in order to obtain the best possible achieve- ments. We will continue to work hard to provide learning opportunities, environ- ments, and resources of the highest quality, to support your educational journey and career aspirations.

Weston College is committed to the principles of safeguarding and equality, diversity and inclusion meaning we will do all we can to ensure your safety and protection while being opposed to any form of discrimination. At the same time, we will continue to prioritise sustainability and wellbeing as key drivers for what we do. We hope that you, too, will share these inclusive values.

We believe in creating a culture where our whole community knows us, like us and, most importantly, trust us. Our teachers know their students well and encourage each of them to reach their full potential and achieve their aspirations. These positive relationships are fundamental in doing what we do best – Creating Brighter Futures!

This guide provides you with important information which will support you during your time with us. Should you need any further information please ask your personal tutor or contact any member of Student Services who will be happy to help.

As I may not be able to make it round to meet you all at the start of the academic year, may I take this opportunity to wish you an enjoyable and successful year at Weston College.
