Student Voice First is all about encouraging students to share their ideas and feedback about college life. We believe students should be at the heart of everything we do. We want every student to feel empowered to speak up - because every voice matters.
How Does Student Voice First Work?
We offer a range of ways for students to have their say on the things that matter most to them during their time at college.
Feedback
Form
Students can
share their thoughts at any point during the academic year using our feedback
form below or by scanning the QR code badge on their lanyard.
Focus
Groups
What are you
passionate about? LGBTQI+ inclusion, sustainability, mental health? Whatever the
topic, we can help set up a focus group.
College
Governor & Student Meetings
Students have
the chance to meet directly with our College Governors three times a year to talk openly about their experience, to help shape real improvements.
Annual
Student Conference
Our annual
conference is a fun and inspiring day where students can step
out of their comfort zones, explore important topics, and
give feedback on college life.
Student
Surveys
We run three
surveys each year to understand how students are settling in,
progressing, helping us continuously improve the
student experience.
Student
Curriculum Leads
Students are elected in every curriculum area to act as a link between their
peers and the Student Voice Coordinator.
