Waltham Forest College

Waltham Forest College is a vibrant and aspirational further education college located in North East London. As evidenced in its ‘Outstanding’ grade, Waltham Forest College delivers excellent educational outcomes, with results in the top performing 3% of General Further Education colleges nationwide. Yet it is the wider achievements that are really impressive; in the last few years it has been awarded the Mayor of London’s quality kitemark for six areas of provision and has been designated as a World Skills national training centre for excellence, while also gaining organisation-wide matrix accreditation and becoming the first college in London to gain status as a Good Work Employer, demonstrating its commitment as an exemplary employer to its workforce. The culmination of this ongoing drive for excellence has been recognised by Ofsted in its ‘Outstanding’ rating. As an Anchor Institution, Waltham Forest College serves its local and regional communities across North and East London exceptionally well and has been successful in driving aspiration and achievements for its students and wider communities. The College welcomes students of all backgrounds and abilities by offering a wide range of full and part-time courses in the following sectors: Construction and Utilities, Creative, Education, Health and Care Services, Hairdressing and Beauty, Hospitality, Recreational and Leisure, Professional and Business Services, STEM, Employability and Independent Skills Creative. Every year we support and encourage our students in achieving their career goals, by progressing on to Higher Education, employment, or apprenticeships. We are committed to offering the best student experience, be it social, career or learning. The sheer scale of student-run, student-led activities will give our learners every opportunity to try something new and to continue to develop and improve their skills.
