Our annual Celebration of Achievement is an event that is anticipated and enjoyed by a raft of students, staff and families from across the college.

We absolutely love being a part of our student’s journeys and often, we are overwhelmed by their achievements, potential and hard work that they put in and is highlighted by the Celebration of Achievement.

This year has not been an easy one, that is almost a cliché to say now! But what we knew we wanted to do, was to keep celebrating the incredible efforts our students have made during one of the most challenging periods in their lives; and also – the College’s too. To do this, we took our Celebration of Achievement online – but that did not detract from the impressive collection of participants and what they have achieved.

At Hartlepool College we are always ‘Proud Together’ but it is this event that gives us the opportunity to pause, take stock and celebrate not only our winners, but all learners that complete their journey with us. Every pathway is unique and we work hard to ensure our students are supported and successful, in whatever they choose.

Of course, part of our commitment to them is to prepare them for work in their chosen field, and we are proud to work with some incredible organisations from across our region to facilitate this.

Our category sponsors are an integral part of our Celebration of Achievement; giving focus to the possibilities of what our learners can achieve once they leave our care.

A huge thank you goes out to all who have sponsored and supported our event this year; after all the challenges we have faced, it is encouraging to see so many local businesses still willing to support and develop the next generation of employees.
