Student Awards

Find out more about our annual awards evening to celebrate the success of our learners

Every year, 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 summer, for learners and their parents/guardians to come along for an evening including presentations, speeches and the chance to explore the Centre.

Another year of fantastic achievements!

Congratulations to all our students who have worked so hard this year and gained a recognised qualification, I’m so proud of you all. Congratulations and thanks to the team at PVC who have worked so hard to support all our learners. I'd also like to thank our partners and patrons who help make a real different to the students by giving us the resources and materials we need to build bright futures.
