STUDENTS' achievements were celebrated at Kidderminster College during an event hosted by principal, Andrew Miller.

More than 100 students and parents attended the awards ceremony in the college's theatre. Among qualities recognised in awards presented by governors' chairman, Claire Cassidy, were outstanding achievement and excellence in vocation learning by a 14 to 16 year old.

Mr Miller said: "We recognise the importance of celebrating success here at the college and this event was about recognising our students, who had all shown outstanding commitment and effort in a diverse range of curriculum areas.

"Even more inspiring is the fact that some of our students have achieved significant success alongside juggling demanding jobs or caring for a family."

Local employers were involved in some of the awards presented.
