Happy New Year from Walsall College. Enjoy your celebrations and we look forward to seeing you all in 2025! 🎉

Merry Christmas from Walsall College. We hope you have a wonderful day! 🎄

We couldn't be more proud of travel and tourism lecturer and Smile For Joel founder, Suzanne Richards MBE who is the overall winner in the Good for Me, Good for FE Awards celebrating the impact of volunteering and fundraising carried out by colleges across the UK.

“This is such an honour for me and for the college’s students and staff—past and present—who have supported Smile for Joel and all that it stands for,” said Suzanne. “College communities like ours do brilliant work promoting togetherness, tolerance and compassion. I hope we continue inspiring people to be ambassadors for positive change, helping to create brighter futures for all.”

Last week marked the beginning of our Autumn term British Sign Language (BSL) taster sessions, delivered in local community venues and at our Hawbush Campus.

These eight-week taster sessions provide the perfect introduction to BSL. Learn how to introduce yourself, finger spell, meet and greet and develop essential deaf awareness skills!

If you'd be interested in setting up BSL tasters at your company, or if you'd like to join our next taster sessions starting in January, contact [email protected]

🌟✨ Alumni nail technician, Emily is on an amazing acrylic winning streak! 🎉 She was awarded five medals - a gold, two silver and two bronze — at Professional Beauty North in Manchester, proving her talent in various nail art categories. This was after previously winning a silver medal in Glasgow.
“I get such a buzz from competing,” said Emily. 💅
Her stunning carnival-themed nail art, featuring a Ferris wheel and 3D designs, wowed the judges and she's eager for even more success.
Look out for her in our The Graduate Academy of Hair & Beauty in the new year where she will be gaining some experience as an assessor to our students, inspiring them to take part in competitions too. 💖✨
