ACTIVITIES
College life at Westminster Tutors is friendly, lively and inclusive, and new students are warmly welcomed by those already at the college. The head students, who are appointed annually, take responsibility for arranging student events and activities, as well as ensuring that the views of all are heard and taken into account.
Outings
Teachers make use of the nearby South Kensington museums, such as the Science Museum and the V&A, arranging visits for their students, and students also attend UCL and LSE public lectures and as well as London University taster courses. Each year we arrange at least one theatre trip to a critically acclaimed West End theatre production, and our French students also enjoy film screenings at the Ciné Lumière, part of the Institut Français.
Weekly Discussion
Student discussion sessions take place every week and cover areas similar to PSHCE but in a more adult way. These sessions are an opportunity to bring students together for a lively exchange of ideas and opinions on current affairs, as well as sessions on a wide range of topics including UCAS, careers guidance, study skills, wellbeing and personal safety. We also invite guest speakers to deliver talks on issues such as addiction, consent and positive relationships.
Enrichment
Our Art and Art History teachers regularly arrange sessions in the London museums galleries, and Classical Civilisation students visit the British Museum. We visit the Natural History Museum Wildlife Garden and the Houses of Parliament on a regular basis. It is also possible to arrange to have Music lessons in the college with visiting teachers from the Royal College of Music.
Social Activities
The college organises a range of social events to bring students together and help build longstanding friendships, including bowling, ice-skating and VR gaming. In the summer there is an annual staff-student sports match in Hyde Park to win the coveted Westminster Tutors Cup, and the students themselves arrange additional social events and activities.
