Celebrating student success across Bedford College Group – FE Student Awards 2025

The Awards are more than just recognition for the winners but a celebration of all students’ hard work and ambition to build brighter futures. The event brought together students, staff, families, and supporters to acknowledge the talent, determination, and progress made throughout the academic year.

Honours presented on the night included the prestigious Student of the Year Awards and Outstanding Student of the Year, highlighting students who have gone above and beyond in their studies, personal growth, and contributions to college life. From academic excellence and personal development to overcoming challenges and inspiring others, the evening was a tribute to the spirit and success of further education.

Karen Campbell, Principal of Bedford and Shuttleworth Colleges said: “It’s a real pleasure to celebrate our Student Awards, recognising the hard work, resilience, and ambition of our incredible learners. These achievements wouldn’t be possible without the support of families, staff, local employers, and our wider community. Together, we’re helping students build brighter, more confident futures and we’re proud to be part of that journey.”
