Class of 2022 Awards Ceremony

Celebrating student success has always been at the heart of college ethos, so it was fantastic to see our annual Awards Ceremony for our 16+ and 14-16 students in the glorious sunshine. It was truly a lovely way to end the academic year.

We were delighted to invite parents, guardians and carers to share and recognise all that students have achieved over the last two years, culminating in divisional and cross college awards for the class of 2022. Categories for Division Awards were Most Improved Student, Academic Achievement Award and Top Practical Student. Top Further Education Student, Top Maths and English Student were some of the Cross College Awards.

We were joined by two guest speakers Kriss Woodhead (@thesuperseriousfarmer) and Zoe Colville (@thechiefshepherdess) who both left their 9 to 5 in plumbing and hairdressing to start building their enterprise and farm full time. Their journey of how they got into farming was inspirational to our students.

Since applying for a Football Scholarship which requires GCSEs, they have applied themselves across all their subjects. They have received numerous positive comments and have even attended additional lessons to help them achieve their goal. They should feel really proud for how far they have come.
