Principal Kim Caplin bids farewell to Westminster Kingsway College
If you’re currently in Year 10 or Year 11 and looking for what to do next, Westminster Kingsway College can help. We have a large variety of courses that can help you begin your journey to your dream career – including A Levels, practical work-based vocational courses (including BTEC, UAL and City & Guilds, from Entry Level through to Level 3) and apprenticeships.
Studying at college is very different from staying at school or going to a sixth form – you are treated as an adult and supported to manage your studies, so you’re ready for university or work. At WestKing, you won’t have assemblies or have to wear uniform, and you’ll be studying with people of all ages from across London.
All of our centres have classrooms and workshops with industry-recommended equipment, as well as well-stocked libraries, social spaces and cafes, creating a vibrant, sociable place to study.
Why not come to an open day and check out our facilities for yourself, or if you already know what you’d like to study, find out more about how to apply – it all begins at WestKing…
STUDY PROGRAMMES
At WestKing, you’ll get more than just your chosen course. We will create you a study programme, which consists of your main qualification, employability skills and relevant work experience.
Our study programmes combine your course with work experience opportunities and the chance to develop skills with tutorials and extracurricular activities. The aim is to equip you with the versatility and experience needed to adapt to life after college, whether that be at university or in employment.
Each study programme is built around your career prospects to ensure you leave WestKing with a well-rounded portfolio.
Our study programmes ensure you receive:
– Your main qualification
– The opportunity to undertake work experience
– Tutorial time, study skills and enrichment activities
If you don’t already have GCSE grade 4 or above in English and Maths, you will also study these as part of your study programme.
