Life at WestKing

At Westminster Kingsway College, we want to enrich your life with more than just qualifications. We want you to develop the broader range of skills and qualities employers look for, including communication, teamwork and problem-solving, as well as having a great time.

Clubs and societies
Get to know your fellow students through a range of student-run activities. Join our Student Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Learner Voice or college clubs and societies – from Football and Table Tennis to Debate Society and Poetry Club! Why not join one of our sports teams* and represent your college locally?

Gym
Our King’s Cross Centre is home to a fully-equipped gym*, which is open to students from across the college, during term time. You will be required to complete a short induction with our friendly, qualified gym staff – they are also able to support you with your personal fitness goals, alongside regular classes. 

Support Others
Develop your teamwork skills and help others by becoming a student ambassador, study buddy or peer mentor, or by getting involved in campaigns such as Stand Up to Racism. Take part in volunteering and fundraising for local charities and organisations.

Celebrate Together
Join us to recognise and celebrate a range of college and public events, including our own Graduation ceremonies, Black History Month, International Women’s Day and LGBTQ+ History Month.

Student Discount Schemes
As a student, you will be eligible to apply for discount cards and accounts, such as TOTUM, UNiDAYS and Student Beans. These can give you discounts in high street shops and online, including at stores such as Apple, Superdrug and more. The college adds updates to the TOTUM app, allowing you to see updates on upcoming events and key dates. It’s free to download and ensures you’re kept in the loop at all times!

C-Card Scheme
The C-Card scheme is aimed at young people between 13-24 years old, who can register to get a range of free condoms, femidoms, lube, dams, information and advice.

Cafes and Social Spaces
Our centres have on-site canteens and cafés, serving a daily menu that includes healthy options. Canteen meals are great value for money and provide a great opportunity to relax with friends between lessons. 

Your Voice

We listen to and act on the views of our students. You are at the heart of what we do and we value your opinions. Every programme has an elected student representative and we regularly ask for students’ opinions through surveys, meetings with senior staff and college committees.
