Student Awards

Every July, PVC staff, learners, families, sponsors and supporters come together to celebrate the great achievements of the past year.

It's important to everyone at PVC that we recognise and reward the achievements of our learners, whether that's for completing their qualification, showing the most improvement, producing amazing work or making fantastic progress. That's why we hold our annual awards evening every July, for learners and their parents/guardians to come along for an evening including presentations, speeches and the chance to explore the Centre.

Take a look at the highlights reel from our 2025 awards evening below, plus all the awards winners and photos from the celebrations.
