A college has celebrated student achievement and progress during two inspiring awards ceremonies.
Heart of Worcestershire College recognised further education students from the Worcester and Malvern campuses, alongside learners from Bromsgrove and Redditch, during two FE Awards events.
The awards are an annual highlight, celebrating not only academic success but also personal development, determination, and positive contributions to college life.
Michelle Dowse, CEO and principal of Heart of Worcestershire College, said: “Our FE Awards are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible achievements of our students and the determination they have shown throughout the year.
“We’re so proud of everything they have accomplished, both academically and personally, and we look forward to seeing them continue to succeed in their future careers and next steps.”

Baasit Siddiqui, educator, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur, best known for appearing on the BAFTA-winning show, Gogglebox, presented the awards.
At each ceremony, one student was named Student of the Year in recognition of their outstanding dedication and progress.
Denys Beilov, who completed a Level 2 Certificate in ESOL Skills For Life, received the Worcester and Malvern Student of the Year award.
He said: “I took the ESOL Student of the Year award in my stride.
“But when they announced the Worcester and Malvern Student of the Year, I wondered who this incredibly hard-working, lucky chap could be.
“I was shocked when I heard my name and at first thought it was a mistake; it really was a huge surprise for me.
“I’m very pleased to have received this award. These awards will inspire me to keep doing my best.
“I am very grateful to our wonderful teacher Dani Quint and HoW College.”
Eddie Price, who studied for a Level 1 Diploma in Introduction to Plumbing, was named Bromsgrove and Redditch Student of the Year.
