Stafford College Access to HE learners celebrate success at annual awards
27 June 2025
NSCG Stafford College recently held a special end-of-year awards event to celebrate the dedication and achievements of itโs Access to Higher Education adult learners.
Students and staff came together to mark the end of a challenging, but rewarding journey. Commit and success was at the forefront of the event of adult learners who have balanced personal responsibilities with the demands of academic life. Learners were presented with special achievement awards across various learning categories, recognising outstanding effort, growth, and the positive influence theyโve had on their peers.
