Wakefield College

[EduCativ]

Choosing where to study is a big decision, and we are all different individuals. Our focus is on teaching and learning, giving all students the best chance to achieve their ambitions regardless of their starting point. It is as simple as that.
Today, the College has its base in three major areas and delivers learning in community settings and workplaces around the District. Our College is committed to working in partnership with local schools, employers, and learning providers to transform learning, attainment, achievement, and progression for everyone in the District.
The College is home to over 7,000 students of all ages and abilities, studying a broad range of courses, from pre-entry to higher education and professional qualifications.
Our students achieve great results in their exams. The 2015/16 academic year saw the overall A Level pass rate reach 97% - the 11th year in a row has exceeded 95% with 14 A Level subjects achieving a 100% pass rate.
Students on our Extended Diploma produced another set of excellent results with 19 subjects achieving a 100% pass rate. This year we also celebrated 25 students gaining three distinction stars – the highest results possible.
What are students say is important to us, and we ask them their opinion every year. The annual student survey looks at all aspects of our student’s experience, including quality of teaching, resources, and support. Findings from the survey are presented to senior college management and help inform strategic planning.
The Governing Body of Wakefield College determines its membership within the restraints clearly set out in the Instrument and Articles of Government. The Governing Body comprises 16 members. The majority of the members of the Governing Body live works or has links within the Wakefield District.
