This national recognition celebrates the College’s exceptional work in preparing students for future success through a dynamic and inclusive programme of enrichment, careers education, and employer engagement.

The College’s Enrichment, Careers and Work Experience Programme stood out for its breadth and impact, offering students meaningful experiences with top employers such as HSBC, BBC, BT, and Deloitte.
