Meet the Wolves at Open Day!

The day offers the perfect opportunity to find out more about the wide range of courses offered at the college, from outdoor adventure and animal conservation to business and IT. Visitors can talk to tutors during interactive activities – while children can collect the set of six free fun Kingston Maurward College badges as they visit each academy.
