Founder of the Educate Awards, Kim O’Brien, said: “Congratulations to the schools and colleges that have made the shortlist! The feedback from judges has been brilliant, with many commenting on the high standard of entries and how it is getting harder and harder for them to decide each year.

“A big thank you to everyone who took the time to put together and submit an entry.”

Kim added: “Plans are already underway for another showstopping evening, with incredible performances, a delicious gala dinner and of course, the ceremony itself. We look forward to celebrating with you all in November.”

It’s still been another fantastic year of success at Myerscough College, from individual student achievements to wide-ranging campus developments. Myerscough is one of the country’s top performing colleges with very strong further education, higher education and apprenticeship achievement rates and student satisfaction rates. Our students and staff are at the heart of our College and University Centre and being at Myerscough is more than just a job or a qualification. We believe in providing opportunities for all to succeed in a supportive, enriching, ambitious and nurturing environment so that everyone can be the best that they can be.

The many industries that we serve continue to report significant skills shortages and opportunities to forge a variety of interesting and exciting careers. Myerscough offers not just high quality academic, vocational and professional education but the opportunity to change lives through a holistic experience of course enrichment, study trips and visits, high quality work experience, community work and charity fundraising. This broad ranging experience builds confidence, resilience, communication skills and life skills, which enables our students to progress into their chosen careers.
