Each summer, we proudly host our Annual Alumni Week — a celebration of our former students and the many paths they have taken since leaving college.
Throughout the week, departments welcome back alumni from a wide range of fields including medicine, mental health, law, business, media, politics, and the performing arts. Alumni return to lead workshops, talks, and discussions, offering current students honest insight into life beyond college and the varied routes people take to get there.
Our alumni community reflects many different journeys — recently, we had alumnus Will Forster, now a Member of Parliament join us to share his experiences. Together, these stories help students see that there is no single path forward, only opportunities shaped by curiosity, commitment, and perseverance.
Alumni Week gives students the chance to ask questions, gain practical advice, and feel inspired by people who once sat where they now sit. It also highlights the lasting strength of our college community and the value of staying connected over time.
We are deeply grateful to all our alumni who generously share their time, experience, and encouragement — your contributions make a meaningful difference every year.

Calling all Alumni!
We need YOU to come back to college to inspire-educate-inform our current students! If you are able to offer any time to visit College to meet students, lead workshops or give talks, please email lam@woking.ac.uk to arrange.
We are thrilled to introduce the Woking College Alumni website, a dedicated space for our former students to reconnect, reflect, and inspire. This is more than just a platform; it’s a community where you can share your journey since leaving Woking College—whether that means pursuing higher education, embarking on a fulfilling career, or taking a unique path all your own.
Here, you’ll have the chance to highlight what you studied during your time at Woking College and tell us where that journey has taken you. Celebrate your achievements, big or small, while connecting with fellow alumni who share a common bond.
If you are a past student of Woking College we would love to hear from you. All our leavers are encouraged to join as we want to hear your stories and follow your successes.
This is a great opportunity for our former students to keep in touch, share their experiences and expand their own network through our Alumni pages.
Our Alumni are a great source of inspiration to our current students and just some of the ways you could help inspire the next generation of Woking College students are by getting involved in
