Our Enrichment Team recently joined us at South West Durham Training to introduce students to some of the exciting enrichment activities available alongside their studies! 🏀🎮

From video games and basketball to a range of other activities, there was something for everyone to get involved with.

It was a brilliant day enjoyed by our students and a great opportunity to make the most of college life, try something new and connect with others outside of the classroom.

Because college is about more than just your course, it’s about making the most of the whole experience!

Induction is all about helping students feel settled, supported and ready for the year ahead, while setting the standards for success from the very beginning.

We’re looking forward to seeing what our new students achieve! 👏
