National Star awarded further education Oscar

Last week we were thrilled to officially receive a ‘further education Oscar’ in recognition of the way National Star College works with people with disabilities. The Beacon Award for Outstanding Leadership of Improvement was presented to us at a special ceremony by the Association of Colleges. We were praised for our work with both our day and residential students, students from other colleges and students who have left college. It was also acknowledged that we have established excellent links with the wider community, parents and employers, and that we have been influential in changing employer perceptions of people with disabilities.
