Skegness College Honours Student Achievement at Annual Brilliance Awards
Skegness College, part of the TEC Partnership, held its annual Brilliance Awards at its brand-new campus recognising the exceptional accomplishments of students over the past academic year.
The Brilliance Awards highlight excellence across a diverse range of subject areas, alongside special awards such as Students’ Student of the Year, Students’ Staff Member of the Year, Student of the Year and the Learner Journey Award.
The celebration brought together students, their families, teaching and support staff, members of the TEC Partnership Executive Leadership Team and governors for an inspiring evening of recognition. Proceedings began with a warm address from the Mayor of Skegness Councillor Dan Kirk and concluded with closing remarks from Morag Moore, Campus Director of Skegness College.
One of the evening’s standout moments was the presentation of the Learner Journey Award to Ursa Hydes, a Hair and Beauty student. Ursa was praised for his outstanding dedication and perseverance.
Staff commented: “Ursa has progressed from Level 1 Hair and Beauty to Level 2 Hairdressing and is now working towards Level 3.
"Her journey has been fantastic to watch, and she should be proud of the dedication she has shown. Her growing confidence and active involvement in salon life - connecting with others and achieving success have been especially rewarding to see. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished.”
Reflecting on the event, Morag Moore said:
“The end of the academic year is always a particularly meaningful time, as it allows us to recognise and celebrate the achievements of every student. Each student has their own unique journey, and the Brilliance Awards offer a special opportunity to reflect on and honour those individual successes.”
This year’s ceremony was especially significant as it marked the first time the awards have been hosted at the college’s new campus.
“It has been an incredibly exciting year for Skegness College,” Morag added. “Our students are thoroughly enjoying their new surroundings and thriving in a modern, purpose-built learning environment. We are delighted to be celebrating their progress and achievements in such a fantastic new space.”
The Brilliance Awards continue to demonstrate Skegness College’s commitment to recognising student success and fostering a supportive, inclusive and motivating learning community.
