THE achievements of top performing students in Years 9, 10 and 11 at West Somerset College have been celebrated at a presentation.

The college held its annual Key Stage 4 Presentation Evening last Monday, recognising the pupils’ contribution to the college, wider community and their academic achievements.

Gaynor Comber, principal, paid tribute to the achievements of over 100 of the college’s most talented and committed students.

Presentations got underway with the subject awards, reflecting the students’ outstanding talents in the academic and vocational subjects.

Progress, attainment and achievement awards were also given in each subject area to reflect students who had made huge strides in their learning.

James Hunt and Lily Grove opened the evening with a musical performance followed by Mia Borthwich during the interval.

The Principal’s Award, the most prestigious award of the evening, went to Shannon Collings for her fantastic academic achievements and contributions to college life.

Tara Hernaman-Wood was presented the Nick Swann Endeavour Award for overcoming the odds to achieve and exceed her academic and personal potential.

Anne Looney, vice-chairman of governors, emphasised the success of the students, which she said reflected the team work of parents, staff and students working together.
