Presentation of Awards

IMPORTANT UPDATE: PRESENTATION OF AWARDS CANCELLED - THURSDAY 25TH JUNE 2026.

Every year, Reaseheath College celebrates the achievements, dedication and success of our students at our annual Presentation of Awards ceremonies.

This special occasion brings together students, families, friends and staff to recognise the hard work, personal growth and accomplishments of our learners during their time at Reaseheath.

Presentation of Awards is an opportunity to celebrate not only academic and practical success, but also resilience, contribution to college life and the exciting futures ahead of our students as they progress into industry, apprenticeships, university or employment.

Across a series of ceremonies held on campus, students from a wide range of curriculum areas come together to celebrate their success alongside peers, tutors and loved ones.

Throughout the ceremonies, students are presented with certificates and special awards, with a number of prestigious trophies recognising exceptional achievement across the college. It is also a chance to celebrate the people who have supported students throughout their journey and recognise everything they have achieved along the way.
