One of the country\u2019s most successful specialist colleges, Reaseheath College in Nantwich, Cheshire, has notched up another record year of student enrolments and achievements.<\/p>\n

The college\u2019s annual awards ceremony, held over two days last week, celebrated the success of\u00a0 1371 Further Education students who had achieved industry recognised qualifications and skills.<\/p>\n

\"Torrence

Top Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture students Torrence Summerfield, Becky Harper, Jess Fallows, Amy Champ and James Latter<\/p><\/div>\n

The students, from across the UK and abroad, are preparing for careers in agriculture, environmental conservation, animal or equine management, agricultural engineering, motor vehicle, business, food manufacture, floristry, horticulture, forestry, construction, public services or in leisure industries such as sport and outdoor adventure.<\/p>\n

Sharing congratulations with a capacity audience, Principal Meredydd David emphasised that 97% of Reaseheath\u2019s students achieve their qualification and that 90% progress into employment or onto higher level courses.<\/p>\n

A recent independent economic impact assessment had shown that Reaseheath contributed \u00a385 million to the regional economy last year and that parents and students receive a 17% return on their investment in education \u2013 a \u00a37 return for every pound invested.<\/p>\n

Jack Williams, top student, Level 3 Diploma Countryside Management<\/p><\/div>\n

Fantastic opportunities lay ahead for Reaseheath students as the importance of the industries they were about to enter had been recognised by the government. An agriculture and technology strategy had been launched, supported by \u00a380million of investment.<\/p>\n

To stay abreast with these opportunities, Reaseheath was investing \u00a38million to develop a national centre for horticulture, environmental management and sustainability which would open in September 2015.<\/p>\n

This year, the college had opened a new hall of residence for 150 students, a new sport fitness centre and a National Academy for Food Engineering in partnership with industry. This brought the total investment on world class facilities over eight years to \u00a345 million. There were plans to invest a further \u00a330 million over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Guest speakers were Dr Pete Waterman from Cheshire & Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership and John Myers, Head of Employer and Delivery Services, and Jane Cowell, Director of Young People\u2019s Funding, both from the Education Funding Agency.<\/p>\n

Five outstanding students received special cross college awards<\/h5>\n

Twm-Tegid Brunton, a Level 3 Diploma in Forestry and Arboriculture<\/a> student, was chosen as the student making the best contribution to college life. <\/strong>An outstanding student ambassador, he had voluntarily attended over 40 college information events and had gone out of his way to support the student services team. A \u00a0member of the North West Welsh Opera Choir, he had also sung at the student ball.<\/p>\n

Katie Gibson, who had completed Level 3 Diploma in Professional Bakery<\/a>, were selected for making the best all round contribution <\/strong>to the college. She had made an outstanding input into RAG (Raising and Giving) activities and had added responsibilities as press officer for the student magazine.<\/p>\n

Rachel Bowles, a Foundation Degree in Animal Management<\/a> undergraduate, was singled out for personal qualities.<\/strong> The Student Association sustainability representative, Rachel was also chair of Reaseheath\u2019s Conservation Society as well as helping to lead charity fundraising.<\/p>\n

Student Association President Sam Norfolk, a Foundation Degree in Adventure Sports<\/a> graduate, was recognised for contributing most to Reaseheath\u2019s sporting activities. <\/strong>As captain of Reaseheath\u2019s Men\u2019s football team, he had played 11 competitive matches and organised additional charity matches and sporting projects.<\/p>\n

Lucy Culwick, a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture<\/a> student, was awarded the Beacon Trophy celebrating excellence<\/strong>. Diagnosed as having a\u00a0 hole in her heart during her course, Lucy had undergone open heart surgery and had recuperated for just six weeks before returning to college. She had caught up with her studies, involved herself with college life and was now going to study for a Degree in Agriculture.<\/p>\n
