One of the country’s most successful independent specialist land-based colleges, Reaseheath College continues to notch up impressive student enrolments and achievements.
Our college’s annual awards ceremonies, held over two days, celebrated the success of over 1100 Further Education students who have achieved focused technical qualifications and skills during the current academic year.
Impressively, 90% find a rewarding career in their chosen industry or progress into Higher Education, with many opting to take an industry focused degree at University Centre Reaseheath.
Addressing packed audiences, our Principal and CEO, Marcus Clinton emphasised that Reaseheath remains one of the top UK providers of technical land based training and offers programmes which are supported by many key employers.
He pointed out that the Government recognised the value of technical education and that Reaseheath enjoyed outstanding success in developing crucial employability skills among its students. In particular, the college had shown itself to be excellent at developing and embracing new technologies, and had continued to develop and invest in many new resources and facilities. Of particular note this year was a £3million investment into specialist equipment to support T Levels and the college farm.
He urged every student to be proud of the qualification they had completed, as it would enable them to stand out from the crowd– particularly when complemented by extra programmes such as BeReady and BeMore which offer life skills and encourage students to become involved in community and voluntary roles and to give of their best.
In particular Marcus applauded the efforts of members of the Student Association, who organised activities which raised over £17,000 for this year’s charity, The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust.
The ceremonies were opened by David Pearson MBE, Chair of the Reaseheath College Board.
Guests of Honour were agriculture alumnus Rosemarie Lee, owner of Weaver Dairy House Farm, animal management alumnus Greg Clifton, Section Manager of Primates and Carnivores, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, and business alumnus Jonny Ellams, Commercial Executive, Hull KR.
A vote of thanks was given by Megan O’Hara, President of the Student Association.
