Walford College offers high-quality residential accommodation on site.
Priority is given to students on land-based courses for whom daily travel presents particular problems. Â
The accommodation includes single study bedrooms, some ensuite and some with washbasins. Â
Meals
Students can choose to opt for a catered or self catered (if over the age of 18) package. Each residence has a small kitchen with facilities that allow students to prepare hot food and drinks, or they have the option of using the large communal kitchen in the Social Centre. Meals can be taken in the Refectory Monday – Friday.Â
Included in the fees is a six-meal package which includes three evening meals and three meal cards to use for lunch or breakfast per week. All other meals are paid for separately using cash/card.Â
Students with specific dietary requirements need to discuss their specific requirements with the Catering Manager.Â
Where possible, students under the age of 18 years are accommodated in separate halls, on separate corridors or separate floors.Â
Fees
Please note the fees are for accommodation from Sunday night to Thursday night inclusive (five nights). Accommodation is for term-time only and accommodation is not normally offered at weekends, half term or any of the vacation periods.Â
All applications received are placed on a waiting list and the process of offering accommodation to students usually starts in July each year.Â
Welfare and Safeguarding
In addition to the Accommodation and Welfare Manager, Activity and Welfare Officers and Tutors, the College has a Designated Senior Person with safeguarding responsibilities who can be contacted directly about personal problems or concerns. Â
The campus has CCTV and all residences have doors with computerised access systems and access is strictly controlled.Â
