SWINDON College is holding an awards ceremony for its 14 to 16-year-old students.

The Pre 16 awards night will celebrate the achievements of students studying part time for vocational GCSEs while still at school in subjects such as engineering, business and childcare.

It will take place on Wednesday from 7pm at Swindon Town Football Club's Winners Lounge.

Hilary Pitts, director of education at Swindon Council, Penny Hackett, chief executive of the Learning Skills Council and Mayor of Swindon Peter Stoddart will attend.

All 250 year 11 students who study at the school have been invited and they will all receive a memento to take away. Awards will be given to 35 individual students in each subject the college offers.
