We are very proud of the national and regional awards that we have received regularly over a number of years that showcase what the College offers to better young people’s lives.

These awards recognise excellence in academic education, but also acknowledge the all-round College experience that enhances students’ life opportunities, no matter their starting point of background.

Our commitment to our students becoming well-rounded individuals with all the tools to achieve success in their future lives is evidenced by these award wins, and it is gratifying for both students and staff that their hard work and determination is celebrated on a grand and prestigious stage.
