​At Adult Education Wolverhampton, our students' voices are at the heart of everything we do. During Student Voice Week, our Deputy Head of Services, Anna, spent time visiting a range of classes to hear directly from students about their experiences, such as what they enjoy most about learning with AEW and where we can make things even better.

These open conversations offered valuable insight into how our students feel about their courses, their teachers, and their learning environment.

Celebrating What's Going Well

Across every class, one theme stood out - our students value the supportive, welcoming atmosphere and the dedication of their teachers.
Here are just a couple of the positive comments shared during Student Voice Week:
"Teachers are very helpful and explain things really well. AEW is a place where students feel respected and welcomed."
"Teaching is made open for all, which makes learning really enjoyable."

Many groups also spoke about the positive pace of their lessons and how induction sessions helped them feel ready to learn from the very first week. Others shared how approachable and understanding their teachers are, and how this creates a comfortable space for everyone to learn and grow.

Working on Improvements Together

Students also shared constructive feedback on areas where we can continue to improve. Some mentioned challenges with accessing computers or online systems, while others suggested enhancements to facilities such as classroom equipment, lighting outside the building, and shared spaces.

We're already reviewing this feedback to explore where we can make practical improvements that support a better experience for everyone.

Thank You to Our Students

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts during Student Voice Week. Your feedback plays a key role in helping us shape the best possible learning experience, and we'll continue to listen, learn, and grow together.
