Get Involved
Kidderminster College Sports Academies
All learners have the opportunity to join and participate in the Sporting Academies and/or activities run throughout the year at Kidderminster College.
The Football Academy has been running for over 9 years, with college staff working alongside players and football club management to provide the best coaching and instruction. The teams have been very successful with some learners progressing onto a higher level.
Our Golf Academy is run in conjunction with Kidderminster Golf Club, a high quality 18-hole golf course, situated within and surrounded by beautiful Worcestershire countryside. Learners will have the exciting opportunity to develop their skills with PGA qualified golf professionals.
Kidderminster College also provides opportunities to try other sporting and leisure activities such as Netball, Badminton, Body Pump, Kick Boxing, Fencing, Taekwondo and various outdoor pursuits. Wednesday afternoon is allocated for participating in college sport; therefore most teams play on this day.
Wyre Forest School Sport Partnership
Kidderminster College is part of the Wyre Forest School Sport Partnership with its aims being:
- Provision of High Quality PE for all learners
- Provision of opportunities for all young people to participate in a range of high quality activities on a college site and in the community environment
- Provision for all young people to develop their potential
- Provision for all young people to undertake high quality Leadership and Volunteering roles
Learners from the college have signed up to the Step into Sport Passport scheme. The main aim of Step into Sport is to encourage more young people to become involved in sport in their local community. The programme also encourages and generates greater volunteer links between schools and clubs.
Anyone interested in joining the Academies or other extra-curricular activities should contact Emma Booton on 01562 512095 email: ebooton@kidderminster.ac.uk or fesco@kidderminster.ac.uk
Fund Raising
Every year our learners (and indeed staff) never fail to use their imagination and creativity to raise money for local and national charities. Not only is it great fun but it provides an opportunity for our learner groups to work together, and get to know each other.
In the last year alone the events that have been organised have ranged widely from swimathons to dog walking and cake baking to fancy dress!
The Student Union, Clubs and Societies
Joining the Student Union can be a major part of college life for many learners. All learners are welcome to join. By becoming a member you will have the opportunity to get involved in running the Union and its associated events. Clubs and societies provide an opportunity to meet new people and develop additional skills.
There is usually an opportunity for learners to set up their own club too, if there isn't one that interests them already established. Plus, by becoming a member of the Learner Union you can apply for an NUS card which entitles you to discounts at many stores / shops.
Become a College Ambassador
Throughout the year we hold various events where we invite learners to help out, such as the College Open Evening. Here learners have the opportunity to work as Ambassadors giving advice and sharing experiences with prospective learners. Our learners also had a major part to play in our recent marketing campaigns by 'starring' in our prospectus and on this website - yes, they are all real Kidderminster College Learners! Your Personal Tutors will advise of any opportunities to get involved.
