Post 16 Open Events
Open Events, either day or evening visits, provide an excellent opportunity to tour the further education setting, as well as meet staff and current students.
You will be able to speak to those who teach and work there, understand how the courses work and clarify information you may have read in the prospectus or online. You will be able to find out about the balance of exams to coursework for assessments, student experiences of the course and college life in general, and be able to ask any personal questions you may have.
These visits are an opportunity to gain an authentic feel for the setting, a sense of the support on offer and the range extra curricular and enrichment opportunities they offer.
Open days can be very busy so make sure to book online to reserve your place (if that’s necessary) and plan your time there so that you find out everything you need.
Please follow Wellacre’s Facebook (Facebook\Wellacre) and X (@WellacreAcademy) accounts in order to find information on upcoming Open Days.
When we receive all Open Events information each year, we collate it and post one resource here:
