Students who managed to overcome the unique problems of pandemic studying have been honoured in a virtual ceremony.

York College has revealed the winners of first REACH awards for A-level, vocational and apprenticeship students.

Lee Probert, Chief Executive & Principal said, “Achieving an award in any year is an achievement to be proud of.

"Achieving an award in an academic year fraught with lockdowns, local and national restrictions and whilst studying at least part of their course online is something students should be phenomenally proud of.

“Over the last 18months students have shown resilience, creativity and resolve. These are characteristics which will stand them in good stead for the future, alongside their academic achievements.”

Because of the pandemic, the ceremony was held online.
