York College hosted its A Level Awards Evening at the National Centre for Early Music in York. The special occasion recognised students who excelled in their A Level studies in the summer and included three new awards from the University of York.
Glyn Jones, Assistant Principal for A Levels, welcomed students and their families and Principal Alison Birkinshaw gave an introductory speech. There was an address by guest speakers Professor John Robinson, Pro-Vice –Chancellor for Teaching and Learning at The University of York and former York College A Level student Victoria Finan who is now a trainee journalist, working on national newspapers. A Vote of Thanks was given by Shirley Collier, Chair of Governors at York College.
Glyn Jones, Assistant Principal for A Levels said: “It is lovely to celebrate the success of many talented and hard-working former students from the College’s A Level Faculty - it is also fantastic to see them supported by their families, friends and former College tutors. Meeting up with the students again after their first term at university is so pleasing - they have all made an easy transition from College to university and it is great to see. They are an inspiration to our current students.”
