School Engagement

Working closely with schools across Warrington, Cheshire, Wigan, St Helens, Halton and Greater Manchester.

Warrington & Vale Royal College is committed to supporting pupils to make informed decisions about a future that is right for them. By providing quality information, advice and guidance throughout Key Stage 3, 4 and beyond, we aim to ensure that pupils have the opportunity to learn about all post-16 options and future career possibilities, whilst assisting schools to meet their Gatsby Benchmarks, and comply with Provider Access Legislation.
