Walford should be first choice for agri studies
Walford Campus is a fantastic and vibrant land-based
campus that offers a great place to study and make
friends. Students who come to Walford make friends for
life and progress to university, into employment, or on to
higher apprenticeships in their chosen vocational area.
he Campus has
been a busy place
the past few
weeks with
hundreds of
National Citizen
Service (NCS) young people
undertaking many interactive
workshops on campus and getting
great life experience along the
way.
Staff at College are busy
preparing for the forthcoming
enrolments starting at the end of
August ahead of term starting in
early September. There are lots of
activities around Campus from
general maintenance to growing
lots of food to feed our more exotic
animals over in our animal
management centre!
With halls of residence at the
Campus, there are plenty of jobs
to do in preparation for September
such as planning induction and
fun and interactive activities for the
forthcoming new residents.
Students studying Agriculture and
Equine complete duties as part of
their programme, so duty rooms
are really useful for students who
do not live on Campus.
An integral part of land-based
programmes relates to rural skills.
Rural skills are of paramount
T
importance to those working in
relevant areas. Courses are crucial
to businesses who require
legislative tests in order to be
compliant in their particular field.
The College offers a wide range of
courses for areas such as
chainsaws, pesticides, ATV,
Veterinary Meds and Tractor
Driving. To find out more, visit our
