We are delighted that your child has decided to commence or continue their education and training with us and want to take the opportunity to welcome you to the new academic year and the college.
We want you to be aware of just some of the services available to ensure your child is supported whilst at college, including:
Bursary Fund & Buses - which is available to support those who are eligible with the costs of attending college, if you think this may apply to you please contact bursary@wvr.ac.uk
Learning Support - who can assist with support for students both inside and outside the classroom, please contact learningsupport@wvr.ac.uk
Safeguarding & Wellbeing - who can support with a range of issues including mental health, please contact safeguarding@wvr.ac.uk
All students must wear ID badges whilst on the college site. This is an integral part of maintaining the safety and security of the college.
Students will be issued with an ID badge on their first day at college. Should students forget or lose their college ID badge they will be required to purchase another at a cost of £5.
Students may be eligible to loan a Chromebook from college. This will be discussed during induction and Chromebook loans can be undertaken in the LRC.
We are committed to ensuring that students keep themselves safe online.

Supporting Your Child's Career Journey
As a parent or carer, you play a vital role in helping your child explore their future and make informed decisions about their next steps.
Simple conversations about their interests, strengths, skills and ambitions can make a real difference. While you may not have all the answers, our Careers Team is here to provide support, advice and guidance throughout their journey.
Careers Support at College
Our careers programme helps students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to plan for their future. The programme meets the Gatsby Benchmarks and provides access to high-quality careers education, information, advice and guidance.
We also run parent-focused careers events throughout the year, covering topics such as university applications, student finance, apprenticeships, progression opportunities and employability skills, helping you support your child every step of the way.
Our Careers Team is always available for students to book an appointment to discuss their future plans, explore progression options, receive support with CV writing and job applications, practise interview skills, or simply talk through their next steps. To arrange an appointment or find out more, contact the team at careers@wvr.ac.uk.
