Our Learning Culture

“Leaders and managers have created a culture of high expectations. They introduced ‘three non-negotiables’ to improve students’ attitudes towards learning. As a result, attendance is high and students are highly motivated to learn.”

Ofsted, February 2020

Students in our learning culture work hard, like studying and take advantage of our wide range of cross-college activities.

Our students tell us that they enjoy the college’s relaxed but focused atmosphere, as well as having more independence than they do at school. Teachers will treat you as a young adult.

Students bring with them a learning culture to Winstanley College, where it is normal to enjoy learning, study hard, do well and develop a passion for your courses.

Students are expected to:

Arrive on time to class ready to learn. 1. Engage with their own learning in lessons. Engage with their own learning outside of lessons. The College has numerous student study areas allowing you to complete much of your independent study during the college day. When you start with us, your Personal Tutor will guide you through what it means to be an independent learner; how to organise your time, manage your workload and when you should be asking for help. We specialise in providing you with the support, facilities and resources you need to prepare for the next steps in your career.
