Further Education Awards celebrate exceptional students
The achievements of City College Norwich’s outstanding students from 2014-15 were celebrated at the College’s 11th annual Further Education (FE) Awards at the Assembly House, Norwich, on Thursday 10th September.
The high-achieving students, their parents, employer partners, teaching staff and other guests were treated to a glitzy reception with drinks and live music on arrival at the Assembly House, before enjoying a “posh picnic” in the Noverre Ballroom ahead of the award presentations.
Twenty exceptional students were presented with employer-sponsored awards in recognition of outstanding progress and achievements on their course of study, special achievements in going far above and beyond the requirements of their course, overcoming barriers to learning, and for outstanding community spirit.
The select group of students honoured at the FE Awards have truly stood out in their achievements, having been nominated by their tutors and lecturers from more than 5,000 students who studied with the college last year.
The award categories reflect the huge breadth of further education courses offered by the City College Norwich, from foundation learning, to GCSEs and A levels, an extensive range of BTECs, NVQs and other vocational courses, and Access to Higher Education.
Corrienne Peasgood, Principal, City College Norwich, said:
“Each of the students being presented with a Further Education Award has demonstrated inspirational qualities and exceptional achievements during their time at City College Norwich. They show just what can be achieved when you bring together talented students, expert teaching staff, and supportive employers who give our students invaluable opportunities to experience the world of work. We are immensely proud of our FE Award winners and congratulate them on all that they have achieved.”
