Support During the Holidays
While WQE recognises that not everyone in our community may celebrate Christmas, for many the festive season is a time of excitement and celebration. This time of year can also present challenges, especially amid the ongoing cost of living crisis and adverse situations globally, which can impact our students’ wellbeing. We have a long-established, strong safeguarding and welfare culture at WQE and never has it been so important to take care of each other; we encourage all students to reach out to us when they are experiencing challenges. When college is open, we have a dedicated safeguarding freephone number 0800 061 4222. Please use this for raising any safeguarding concern, no matter how small it may seem. We also offer a wide range of academic and welfare services, tailoring support to individual need. This booklet has been created for your use during the Christmas break; it contains a wealth of information to ensure that you can access vital advice quickly and easily when you need it most.
College will reopen to students on Monday 5th January 2026.
We wish you a safe and restful break.

Associate Principal (Students and Welfare)
