Top achieving students were recognised at Tresham College and National College for Motorsport’s Student of the Year Awards ceremony on Tuesday evening at the college’s Corby campus.
The prestigious event, which was sponsored by Youth Employment UK, celebrated fifteen separate awards, plus the award for Outstanding Student of the Year which was won by Sports Coaching and Development BTEC student Emily Smith.
Exceeding expectations
Emily’s teachers commended her for constantly exceeding the standards and expectations set which led to her achieving a triple starred distinction in her Sports Coaching and Development BTEC. All of this is even more impressive as Emily has had to overcome major surgery; however, this hasn’t dampened her spirit and she has continued to foster her love of football.
Other awards on the evening were sponsored by North Northamptonshire Council, Kier, Mindful Education and Right Track Consultancy.
Robin Webber-Jones, Principal of Tresham College commented:
“I’d like to thank all our students who have given their best, in whatever way that might be for each individual. While we recognise a few outstanding students through these awards, we are also recognising the achievements of every student, whether big or small, personal, academic or emotional.”
