Newbury College held its annual celebration Awards Ceremony for all Foundation Learning students last week. Newbury College Principal, Dr Anne Murdoch OBE presented all the learners from groups Connect 1 to Connect 6 with their certificates of achievement, acknowledging the success of the past year.

The event took place on the 27 June 2012 between 1pm-3pm with students, staff, parents and carers attending the event. Anne Murdoch addressed the learners with a speech congratulating them on their achievements. Special certificates were given to learners who had achieved 100% attendance.

Curriculum Manager, Alan Cracknell was very impressed with the students and said "The students showed great support to one another on collecting their certificates, and their behaviour and ability to conduct themselves well was a credit to them".

This year has been an exceptional year for the students with a large group of them receiving 100% attendance awards, and some learners having achieved paid employment. It is also pleasing to note that the Connect 6 group all have great progression plans which include attending higher courses both at Newbury College, or other providers, as well as paid employment.
