The events offered Year 11 students valuable insight into the college’s post-16 pathways, including T Levels, technical qualifications, and apprenticeships. Each evening saw strong attendance and positive feedback, highlighting the growing interest from local young people eager to take the next step in their education with a technical pathway.
The college’s careers-led approach combines classroom learning with practical, hands-on experience and direct links to employers. Partnerships with organisations across the region, spanning construction, health, engineering, and the creative industries, ensure that students gain both recognised qualifications and the essential skills needed for future employment.
As students begin planning their next steps, the college encourages early applications for September 2026 entry due to increasing demand. Prospective learners can explore courses and apply online via the college website, or request a paper application form if preferred by visiting: wvr.ac.uk/16-18.
For those who were unable to attend an Open Evening, Warrington & Vale Royal College will be offering campus tours from January 2026. These small-group visits will provide another opportunity to explore the campus and speak with staff about available courses and pathways. Those interested can register their interest here: wvr.ac.uk/campustours.
