The Bedford College Group is preparing for a summer of celebration as it honours the achievements of its exceptional students.

We will be holding a series of Further Education (FE) Student Awards ceremonies, proudly supported by an array of dedicated local sponsors.

The celebrations will recognise learners across the Group’s full network of campuses, showcasing stories of academic success, resilience and personal growth. Events will take place on the following dates:

  • Wednesday 8 May: Tresham College, National College for Motorsport, and The Corby Sixth Form
  • Wednesday 11 June: Bedford Achievements Awards (Bedford College, Shuttleworth College, The Bedford Sixth Form)
  • Tuesday 17 June: Central Bedfordshire College (CBC)

These ceremonies follow a successful Ofsted inspection, which saw The Bedford College Group rated “Good” across all areas. As well as celebrating student achievement, the events highlight a year of expansion, community partnerships and curriculum innovation.
