Our Vision, Mission & Values

We realise the potential that excellent education and training has to transform lives for the better. Warrington & Vale Royal College will base its future success on upholding what we believe to be our core values:

We put our students and customers first

Prioritising students and their learning and progress, realising their potential, delighting our customers.

We pursue excellence in all we do

A passion for high quality education, training and skills solutions, holding ourselves to the highest possible standards, meeting (and exceeding) targets, making improvements, valuing creativity, supporting digital innovation and pedagogy.

We embrace change

Looking forward to the future, embracing new technologies, anticipating and responding to ongoing economic and social needs and demands, maintaining a growth mind-set, exploring new routes to partnership, collaboration and growth.

We collaborate and work in partnership with others

Actively seeking opportunities to work with others in the best interests of the college community and key stakeholders.

We operate sustainably, ethically and responsibly

Taking action to achieve net zero carbon targets, acting with integrity, with high levels of accountability and complete transparency, treating others fairly and with respect, communicating clearly, concisely and openly.

We are guided by the principles of sound financial stewardship and operational efficiency

Ever-mindful of an increasingly risk-laden operational environment, the need for broader sensitivity analysis in budgeting and forecasting and the importance of mitigating risks that could affect the college’s solvency.

Strategic Objectives

The college has a strategic focus on providing the skills, knowledge and expertise required to address skills shortage areas and support economic growth in Warrington and the Vale Royal region. Activities are aligned to achieve our objectives and are monitored by the college Senior Leadership Team and Governors to ensure we continue to deliver best practice.
