Learner Voice
The college encourages learners to take part in regular meetings to listen and express their views on a range of topics. The topics can be various, specific to college life, the wider community and the local labour market.
Learners are engaged in a process of nominations at the start of each term to represent ‘learner voice’ where they share the views of all learners and consult with Team Ridge and Governors.
The college completes annually a review of ‘learner views’ to consider what we do well and what we could do better.
Next Learner Voice meetings are as follows:
- Meeting 1 : 23rd September 2024 9:00/9.30am Unit 3 Room 1
