The ceremony started with a welcome from Principal Mr Thompson, where he spoke about his pride in the students and their achievements. He also talked about his hopes for those who were leaving College this year and encouraged them to remain in touch, so they could pass on their experiences to future students.

The awards were categorised by subject and College House and presented by Departnemnt Heads and Heads of House. There were also special awards from the Principal and Governors.
Quotes from staff included:
- From day one Jumobi has worked hard and remained dedicated to her studies. She has such a curious mind and has shown a keen interest in sociology throughout the course and can discuss with ease sociology within the real world such as making links within art or poetry. She has a wonderful and positive attitude, is very thoughtful, humble and has always been a pleasure to teach. Jumobi will go so far in life and will make the world a better place.
- Chenique has been a massive contributor to the Knock house, supporting the college during open days and college charity events. Chenique has always maintained high standards as a student and through her work and consistent levels of attendance and punctuality.
- Jada sought out support and feedback from the team at the beginning of the year to improve not only her grades but her mindset when it comes to her coursework and this course. She has demonstrated zeal and came out of her comfort zone to ask for help and support, from both her teachers and peers.
- Parsa shows a natural flair and deep understanding for mathematics. His mastery of the processing skills have allowed him to access the subject to a much higher level than the specification requires and his inquisitive approach to lessons often leads to interesting exploration and breadth of learning which enriches the experience of the whole class. He is unfailingly supportive of his peers and he is always happy to provide one-to-one assistance to anyone that needs help.
- Stacey has shown real resilience throughout her time on the applied law, she has demonstrated an ability to set clear tangible goals and devise a robust route to achieving them. This is why she has consistently achieved distinctions in both her examined units and also coursework too. She has proven to be truly amazing.
