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.

Halo workplace logo

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.

Graduate Teacher Training Opportunities

On Wednesday 21st February, Weston College Foundation Learning Football Academy took part in the Somerset FA’s first Inclusive Futsal tournament with the aim to encourage more players and teams to take part in this exciting format of five-a-side football.

The F.A. is keen to harness the benefits of this game and introduce it to further the technical development of young players.

Futsal is a format of five-a-side football that is played indoors with a smaller, heavier ball. The game is played to pitch lines and hockey sized goals, which helps to encourage improved decision-making and technical skill for young players.

These attributes were displayed by the two Weston College Foundation Learning Football Academy teams in abundance, as they were both unbeaten and conceded only one goal each in their qualifiers.

As a result, they found themselves competing against each other in the final.

At the final whistle it was a 0 – 0 draw so it therefore went to a penalty shoot-out.

Weston College Team 1 was the eventual victors winning the shootout 7 – 6.

Nick Chadwick, Weston College's Assistant Coordinator for 14-16 Link, said: "These exceptional results are a real testament to the team’s commitment, dedication and teamwork they put into their training every Friday. A fantastic result all round."

Weston College Business Awards

Weston College's Business Awards is an annual event that recognises our business partners and their apprentices. Here are five things that happen almost every year that we can't wait to experience at this year's awards dinner...

The guest speaker

Penny Smith

At the Business Awards we always get an inspirational or motivational guest speaker (like Penny at our 2017 awards). The speakers come from a variety of industries, but usually they are a household name. They'll be present throughout the evening, so you should get to meet them and have a chat if you'd like!

Great food

Cooking

Food is a pivotal part of the whole evening, and we always aim to please with a delicious three-course meal. This year, the professional catering team at Lasseter's at the Winter Gardens, under the direction of Head Chef David Newman, will be cooking up a storm...

Big prizes

Business Awards Weston College

Each year, the winner of the coveted Principal's Award for Overall Apprentice of the Year receives a cheque to reward them for all of their hard work.

A beautifully decorated venue

Winter Gardens Pavilion

We pull out all the stops to make sure the night is memorable - and that includes plenty of decorations to create a special atmosphere. In the past we've added special touches like confetti cannons (see above) and smoke machines...
