A number of Cheshire College students have been recognised for their 'outstanding' achievements at the college's annual Student Awards.

The event serves as a celebration of exceptional academic, vocational, and personal accomplishments.

Awards were presented across a broad range of subjects, including engineering, business, health and social care, construction, sport, science, arts, maths and more.

Jasbir Dhesi OBE, principal and CEO of Cheshire College, described the annual awards as "one of the highlights" of the academic year.

He added: "They provide an opportunity to celebrate the hard work, determination and achievements of our students, both inside and outside the classroom.

"Each award winner has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to their studies and personal development, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished. We look forward to seeing what they achieve next as they continue their education and careers."
