About

How to apply Download a prospectus Get in touch A note from the Principal WQE is a welcoming, open-minded College and we are passionate about our students, as well as ambitious for them and positive about the future.

We are dedicated to maximising our students' academic achievements, and most importantly we are committed to preparing them well for a successful future as young professionals. After GCSEs, many students are ready for a new challenge, with new opportunities for personal growth.

By coming to WQE, they are indicating that they want to challenge themselves, learn in a different way, to discover more about who they are and how to get the best out of themselves. This all takes place in an environment where curiosity is encouraged, and commitment is recognised and valued.

These are important aspects of the WQE experience and the community we strive to create. It's about feeling part of a bigger world; being a student rather than a pupil. It's about sharing that feeling with lots of other young people with similar aspirations and having the supportive space to develop and grow as a person.
