Additional information

Warwickshire College is a large further and higher education college in England. It provides National Curriculum courses and vocational education in a broad range of subjects to students aged 16 and over. Through a series of mergers over a period of 12 years, it has over 20,000 students a year in six locations, with a wide network of outreach centres throughout Warwickshire and one in Worcestershire, making it one of the largest General Further Education (GFE) colleges in the country.[1] It was formed in 1996 with the merger of Mid-Warwickshire College in Leamington Spa and Warwickshire College for Agriculture, Horticulture, Equine & Related Studies (formerly Warwickshire College of Agriculture) in Moreton Morrell. In a further expansion the college merged with Rugby College in 2003, followed shortly by a new campus opening in Warwick called the Trident Centre. It then merged with a fifth site at Henley-in-Arden. In August 2007, Warwickshire College merged with Pershore College, Centre of Horticultural Excellence, in Worcestershire, spreading Warwickshire College across the two counties. The college has Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) awards in engineering, equine, farriery, maintenance and construction, and leadership and management. Following a March 2008 inspection, an Ofsted report accorded the college an overall Grade 1 (outstanding) for its performance. The college is a member of the 157 Group of high performing colleges.

The college has six centres in Leamington, Rugby, Moreton Morrell, Henley-in-Arden, Pershore and Warwick.

Leamington centre is situated within walking distance of Leamington Spa town centre and is our largest campus. It is the hub for our transport infrastructure, allowing students to travel to other centres. Rugby centre is just a short walk from Rugby train station, which is well-connected to major towns and cities, including regular 50-minute services from London Euston. In addition, other learning centres are situated at Henley-in-Arden, Moreton Morrell, Pershore, and Trident Park.

Choosing to live on campus gives students a unique experience and the opportunity to become independent in a friendly and safe environment.

We have halls of residence at three of our colleges; Moreton Morrell, Pershore and Royal Leamington Spa and we provide a range of catered and self catered accommodation for students on both further and higher education courses.

We have a dedicated residential team including Residential Wardens to give access to 24 hour support and returning students have the opportunity to become student wardens, gaining additional skills and experience.

Staff and student wardens live on site and try to make your time at college as enjoyable and trouble free as possible. The wardens are all very keen to assist the Students' Union with social, sporting and recreational activities and all residential students are made aware of the emergency warden telephone number during induction so they know how to get in touch.

A residential handbook is available from the residential team at each college on request.
