Welcome to Weston College

Supporting Success Together

Watching your young person take their next step into further education is an exciting milestone.

College offers new opportunities, greater independence and the chance to prepare for the future. Along the way, they’ll develop new skills, build confidence and make new friendships.

We recognise that this is a time of change for parents and carers too. While your young person is becoming more independent, your support remains an important part of their journey.

We believe the best outcomes happen when students, parents and carers, and the College work together. By working together, we can help your young person settle in, make the most of their opportunities and achieve their goals.

On this page, you’ll find our Parent and Carer Guide with links to resources to help us work together throughout their college journey.

FAQs

Once a learner adds permission for a parent/carer, the account needs to be confirmed by a member of our admin team. This is to ensure that no duplicate records are created. The invitation email will be sent as soon as the account has been confirmed.

If you’ve forgotten your password or entered an incorrect password too many times, you can reset the password from the log in screen. Click “Forgotten Password” and enter your email address used to create the account. You will then receive an email with a link to reset your password.

Parent Hub permissions are granted by the learner through the Learner Hub. Learners can remove/update the permissions at any time. If you previously had access but find you are no longer able to view your child’s information, discuss this with your child as they will need to re-enable your access through the Student Hub.

You can contact your child’s tutor directly to discuss their progress/attendance. All parents/carers of learners aged 18 or under at the time of enrolment are written to at the start of the academic year.

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.
