Support During the Holidays
We are aware that some members of our college community may require more support at the moment due to ongoing global current affairs and the cost of living crisis. We
believe it is our moral imperative to do everything we can to support our college community through these testing times. We have created the following booklet for your
use during the summer holiday. This booklet contains a wealth of information to ensure that you can access vital advice quickly and easily when you need it most. 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. 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.
Timetabled lessons/teaching begins on 3rd September 2026. New students will take part in an induction day between 28th August – 2nd September. Returning students may have Progress and Target setting meetings with their teachers between 28th August – 2nd September.
We wish you a safe and restful break.

Associate Principal (Students and Welfare)
