Celebrating Hardwork and Success with our REACH Awards 2021

The new REACH Awards follow the College’s Core Values; Ambition, Care, Respect and Success, and stands for Rewarding Excellence and Celebrating Hardwork.

Lee Probert, Chief Executive & Principal said, “Achieving an award in any year is an achievement to be proud of. Achieving an award in an academic year fraught with lockdowns, local and national restrictions and whilst studying at least part of their course online is something students should be phenomenally proud of.

“Over the last 18months students have shown resilience, creativity and resolve. These are characteristics which will stand them in good stead for the future, alongside their academic achievements.”

Businesses from the region sponsored many of the 13 awards presented at the special ceremony, held virtually. Sponsors included Flamingo Land, NIMBUS Health Care, Little Green Rascals nursery, The Grand, The Chapter of York (York Minster), Betty’s & Taylors Group and Simpson (York), MIND York and Higher York.
