Enrichment
Meet your Engagement Officer Lucy!
Lucy graduated from the University of Leeds with a first-class degree in Liberal Arts, where she specialised in sociology. During her time at university, she was president of the Feminist Society and worked as an Education Engagement Ambassador where she led sessions designed to help local students access higher education.
As our Engagement Officer, Lucy is here to help make your student experience as engaging and well-rounded as possible. She runs a programme of clubs, activities and feedback forums to ensure your time at college goes beyond your course. You can find the Enrichment office in the Crescent Canteen.
"My favourite part of the role is helping students discover new interests and hobbies that they never would've tried before, like many of the students in our popular Warhammer club, who were completely new to the hobby and have since enjoyed a trip to Warhammer World in Nottingham! It is also a pleasure to support our LGBTQ+ students through representation and collaboration, as well as manage our Axess Sexual Health resources and information point".

Student Community
At Warrington & Vale Royal College, we want to ensure that the voice of our students is heard.
Every student at the college is part of our vibrant and inclusive Student Community. Each course has a dedicated Student Representative who meets regularly with the Curriculum Manager to discuss the student experience and help shape the direction of the course.
In addition, all students are encouraged to have their voices heard through regular Town Hall meetings and feedback surveys, ensuring that opinions help drive continuous improvement across the college.
Fresher’s Fayre
At the start of each academic year, we hold a Fresher's Fayre which sees over 30 local and national organisations attend the college.
This Fresher's Fayre gives our students the opportunity to meet local employers, talk to university representatives about their next steps after college, and collect lots of freebies!
This event is the perfect opportunity for students to sign up to Enrichment activities, such as student council, and make suggestions for extracurricular clubs.
