Welcome to the CMN…

Students and staff from Gower College Swansea have gathered together to celebrate another fantastic year of academic and vocational excellence.

Kev Johns MBE made a welcome return to the stage at Swansea.com Stadium to host the evening, where learners from a range of full and part time courses, apprenticeships, higher education pathways, access courses and employability support programmes picked up awards.

The awards were a practical showcase for staff and student talent with the set, lighting and sound provided by the Level 3 Theatre and Live Events Production team.

Entertainment was provided by A Level Music, English Literature, Classical Civilisation and Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales student Isobel Mcneill, and L3 Diploma in Music Performance and Production student Kara Wood.

Also on hand were the College’s Theatrical Special Effects, Hair and Media Make-Up team, who treated guests to a special Animals showcase.

“Gower College Swansea has always enjoyed one of the highest quality profiles of any education institution, not just in Wales but across the UK,” says Principal Kelly Fountain. “All of this has been achieved as a result of the outstanding commitment and dedication of both our students – all 13,000 of them each year – and our staff, and tonight is an occasion when we get to celebrate their success and pay tribute to the best of the best.”

Guest speaker for the evening was former Gower College Swansea student Alex Callender who plays as a flanker for the Wales Women’s Rugby Union team and Harlequins Women, having gained her first cap for Wales at the 2019 Six Nations Championship.

At the end of the evening, there was a special presentation to Chief Executive Officer Mark Jones MBE who is retiring this summer after a long and distinguished career in education. As a memento, Mark was given an original piece of art by former L3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design student Wanesa Kazmierowska which depicted all the College campuses. He was also given two rugby shirts – one from the year he rejoined the College as Principal in 2013, and one from 2025.

Buckinghamshire College Group is proud to announce a new partnership with Tech Support Squad, who have officially joined as a Cornerstone Employer for the Digital Support & Security T Level course. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in enhancing the real-world relevance and industry integration of the College’s digital curriculum.  

As a Cornerstone Employer, Tech Support Squad will play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital education by offering high-quality industry placements, mentoring opportunities, and insight into the evolving needs of the digital support and cybersecurity sector. Their commitment ensures that T Level students will gain the hands-on experience and technical skills needed to thrive in a competitive and rapidly changing job market. 

Sean Bastow, Curriculum Manager for Digital and Professional Enterprises at Buckinghamshire College Group, said:

“The Tech Support Squad have been strong champions of ours for a long time now, so I am thrilled to take our great relationship to another level and make them our first Cornerstone Employer in our Digital provision. Our learners benefit a great deal from the skills they develop with the Tech Support Squad through industry placements and their commitment to supporting the design of our Digital Support Services curriculum.” 

James Scudder, Founder of Tech Support Squad, commented:

“Breaking into the IT industry at a young age was a challenge for me until someone named Russ gave me a chance when others said I was too young. That experience shaped the values of Tech Support Squad from day one. When we launched the company, we made a firm commitment never to judge potential based on age. One of our first initiatives was partnering with Buckinghamshire College Group through their T-Level programme. That collaboration led to us being honoured with the ‘Business Impact 2024’ award after a highly successful second year of student placements. When we learned about the Cornerstone Employer programme, we saw it as a fantastic opportunity to deepen our relationship with the College and support their ambition to become the leading digital training provider in the region. We’re excited about the future and look forward to continuing this impactful partnership.” 

This partnership aligns with the Government’s vision for T levels to become the gold standard in technical education and demonstrates the power of collaboration between education and industry in developing a future-ready workforce.  

Ian Harper, Executive Director for Business Development at Buckinghamshire College Group, added:

“We’re delighted to be working closely with employers from the digital and broader business sectors to ensure the College is well-positioned to support organisations with their recruitment and workforce development needs, while also making a positive economic contribution to those businesses and the wider region.” 

With Tech Support Squad on board, Buckinghamshire College Group is laying the foundation for a stronger, smarter digital future – one confident, career-ready student at a time.

About Buckinghamshire College Group: 

Buckinghamshire College Group (Bucks College Group) is a further education college with campuses in Aylesbury, Wycombe, and Amersham. The College provides vocational, technical, and professional skills education to over 4,500 students annually. The College provides full-time education for students aged 16 to 18, alongside a robust provision for adult learners and apprenticeships. Buckinghamshire College Group was formed from the merger of Aylesbury College and Amersham & Wycombe College in October 2017. The College is currently developing a new modern campus to be in the centre of High Wycombe which would bring together the provision offered at the existing Amersham and Wycombe sites. 

Learners from Construction and Engineering courses at Stoke on Trent College, have become the latest cohort to join the Stoke-on-Trent Regeneration Brainery programme.

The five-day interactive workshop is a unique opportunity for learners to gain new industry contacts and tools to kickstart their careers.

This is the third year in a row that learners from Stoke on Trent College have been involved in the workshops, having previously had site visits to Capital&Centric’s recently opened Goods Yard, a vibrant new urban quarter next to Stoke-on-Trent train station, with homes, work and leisure space, locally-listed vaulted warehouse, and lush new public square.

The Brainery programme is another example of the College’s ongoing collaboration with industry, as we continue to respond to the skills gaps identified in the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) with our four Skills Hubs:

• Construction and Green Technologies
• STEM
• Digital and Creative
• Health and Social Care

The Regeneration Brainery team worked with the learners on problem-solving, presenting and communication skills to help them stand out from the crowd when they enter the world of work.

The week began at the Goods Yard in Stoke, which included a tour of the site and a presentation from new Goods Yard tenants; commercial real estate firm Avison Young.

Accompanied by social impact property developers Capital&Centric, the cohort were given a tour of the 1960s brutalist Midway multi-storey car park in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The ground-breaking project is the first car park to be repurposed to homes in the UK. The 1960s concrete structure is being restored into 111 new homes with resident gym, mini cini, social hub, alongside parking, bike storage and a striking three-storey open atrium at the heart of the building.

Other presentations and workshops were provided by Regeneration Brainery Ambassador Faizan Ahmed, Genr8 Developments, RJD Associates, architect firms Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Planit plus Pierre Anguilare and Lloyds, with the aim of covering all aspects of the property sector, including project management, finance, planning, architecture and design.

Each learner took part in a speed networking session with a number of the firms mentioned above, where they could quiz them about their businesses and their roles within it.

To round the workshop off, each attendee organised and presented their own presentation for other attendees, on a subject based around an area of property management.

Hassan Rizvi, Principal and CEO at Stoke on Trent College said:

“The Regeneration Brainery programme is a unique opportunity for learners from our Construction and Engineering courses to gain meaningful experience with some of the biggest names in the property industry.

“I would like to thank Regeneration Brainery, for continuing to give our learners the opportunity to be part of something that will boost their own confidence but also help to make them skills ready, future ready.”

Michele Steel, CEO at Regeneration Brainery said:

“With major developments now underway in Hanley, Stoke and Newcastle-under-Lyme, it’s never been more important to show young local residents how they can access the economic opportunity that regeneration and investment in the area can bring. We’ve built a strong pipeline of talent with local colleges including Stoke on Trent and will continue to work with them to create life-changing opportunities for their students”.

A teaching team from Gower College Swansea has been recognised with a Silver Award for Further Education Team of the Year in this year’s Pearson National Teaching Awards.

Chosen from thousands of nominees, the College’s Esports team will now be in with the chance of winning the highly desired Gold Award, which will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony in London and on BBC One’s The One Show later this year.

Since the inception of Esports delivery at the College in 2020, the team has tirelessly advocated for the qualification’s potential and showcased the diverse career pathways available to students. Their efforts have not only changed perceptions of Esports education but their GCS Owls brand has also elevated the College’s profile on a global scale, further championing development of new qualifications to extend the learning pathway to foundation degree level.

The team is responsible for delivering the Level 2 and Level 3 BTEC qualifications in Esports. However, their impact extends far beyond the classroom – their passion and commitment has led to significant developments, including a close collaboration with the awarding body to enhance and expand provision, becoming one of the first Colleges to launch the Pearson Extended Diploma in Esports.

They have also forged strong industry connections, collaborating with organisations such as Williams, Formula 1 and Dallas Fuel to provide students with valuable real-world experiences and employment opportunities.

Meanwhile, GCS Owls has achieved international recognition, winning the British Esports Championship, US Cardinal Open tournament and the BETT Esports Championship—highly respected accolades that highlight excellence in competitive gaming, coaching, and Esports education.

The Esports team is one of 93 deserving teachers, lecturers, leaders, support staff and institutions recognised as a Silver winner in this year’s awards for the lasting impact they have on shaping the lives of young people.

And the celebrations don’t end there for Gower College Swansea, as Creative Media lecturer Jon Parker has also been honoured with a Bronze award in the Transformational Use of Digital Technology category.

Jon has redefined what it means to innovate, using technology as a gateway to inclusion, creativity, and meaningful learning. What sets Jon apart is his ability to energise and empower staff and students and his unwavering belief that digital tools should improve lives. In one year alone, he delivered 74 training sessions as a Digital Peer Mentor and his Curiosity Project has given students real-world impact through the use of drones, 3D printing, and VR. His international dementia care VR initiative, praised as ‘revolutionary’, proves that technology can be both powerful and compassionate.

The announcements follow tributes from celebrities, students and schools across the UK as they say thank you to all those who work in education to mark National Thank a Teacher Day.

Celebrating the whole education community, National Thank a Teacher Day and the Pearson National Teaching Awards are run by the Teaching Awards Trust, an independent charity established over 25 years ago to celebrate the transformative impact of education, shining a spotlight on the pivotal roles teachers, support staff, colleges, schools and early years educators play in inspiring young people, every single day.

“Our Esports team have transformed perceptions around the subject, delivering an outstanding curriculum hand in hand with securing global recognition with their GCS Owls brand,” says Principal Kelly Fountain. “Their innovative teaching methods, strong industry partnerships and their commitment to student success has provided learners with unparalleled career opportunities in the industry.

“Jon’s success is about more than technical brilliance – it’s about generosity, vision and the belief that everyone deserves access to digital learning tools. He doesn’t just spark innovation, he sustains it.

“Gower College Swansea is delighted to mark Thank A Teacher Day. We are incredibly proud of our 2025 Pearson award winners, and indeed all of our wonderful teaching and support staff, who help to transform lives every day.”

Welsh Government’s Cabinet Secretary for Education, Lynne Neagle said: “Once again our talented workforce has been recognised for their hard work and dedication, with the Silver winners representing the teaching workforce across a wide breadth of education from early years to further education. Congratulations all and I wish you good luck for the Gold awards later this year.”

Sir Michael Morpurgo, author, former Children’s Laureate, and President of the Teaching Awards Trust, says: “The dedication and impact of those involved in educating young people is truly remarkable. Their influence extends well beyond the classroom – offering encouragement, inspiration, and unwavering support that can shape lives for years to come. That’s why National Thank a Teacher Day is an important opportunity to pause and celebrate all that they do. I’m also delighted to be able to congratulate this year’s Silver Award winners. Your passion and commitment to shaping the next generation is extraordinary. Thank you for the difference you make every single day.”

Sharon Hague, CEO of Pearson UK, says: “Every day, educators across the UK go above and beyond to inspire, support, and shape the future generation. Today, we proudly recognise those making an extraordinary impact. Our Silver Award winners represent the very best of the profession, and we’re thrilled to celebrate their dedication and achievements. Congratulations to all of this year’s Silver winners!”

Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, says: “On Thank a Teacher Day, I want to celebrate the remarkable professionals who are the backbone of our education system. Brilliant teachers make the single biggest difference to a child’s education. I’ve experienced first-hand how a great teacher can make all the difference. Teachers don’t just deliver lessons – they transform lives, inspire curiosity, and build the confidence our children need to succeed. For this incredible commitment to our nation’s future, we owe our teachers our deepest gratitude.”

Three adult learners from Stoke on Trent College have competed in the regional finals of Hairdressing for WorldSkills UK.

Gemma Gidman, Liga Liepina and Ashleigh Heath are all studying Level 2 Hairdressing at the college, and have competed against 16 other participants from other colleges at the regional competition, which was hosted at Stoke on Trent College’s recently refurbished industry-ready Hair & Beauty studios at the Cauldon campus, on Tuesday 17 June.

Ashleigh heard about WorldSkills from one of her friends who had previously taken part.

“I had a friend who competed in WorldSkills last year, and after our tutor told us about it; I said I wanted to take part. It’s a little nerve-wracking but quite exciting too,” she said.

Liga is looking forward to showing off her creative hairdressing skills, saying,

“I’m really looking forward to taking part in this very famous competition. I heard about it from my tutor who motivated me to take part.

“I really want to show off my hairdressing skills and creative side. Taking part will support my studies as I will gain experience in a competition setting. I’m hoping the experience will help me to get a job in a salon in the near future.”

For Gemma, the motivation of potentially representing her country in hairdressing, was a big motivation to apply for World Skills.

“Once I heard about WorldSkills I wanted to take part. It’s exciting to know if I got through, I could potentially be representing the country for hairdressing.”

Hassan Rizvi, Principal & CEO at Stoke on Trent College said:

“This is the second year we are hosting the regional hairdressing finals of WorldSkills. We were delighted to be asked to once again host the competition in our industry-standard Hair & Beauty studios.

“We’re extremely proud to have three competitors in the regional finals and wish them all the very best of luck for the day.”

The hairdressing competition assessed all the skills and abilities of competitors entering the field of hairdressing.

Finalists will be announced in July, with the national finals taking place from 19-22 November 2025 at the Greater Manchester Colleges Group. The medal ceremony for finalists will take place on 22 November at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

The WorldSkills UK Competition Finals will take place from 25-28 November at venues across South Wales.

Stoke on Trent College’s Hammersley restaurant has welcomed community partners from across the city, to our first FE Big Lunch (Friday 13 June 2025).

The FE Big Lunch is part of the broader ‘The Big Lunch’ which is the UK’s national get-together and aims to celebrate the contributions of community and voluntary organisations.

Stoke on Trent College is one of a number of colleges across the West Midlands who have organised lunches for their dedicated community partners.

The FE Big Lunch hosted by the College was a special gathering to show appreciation for the incredible support of local partners and an opportunity to enjoy delicious food and hear about the latest developments at the College.

Opened by Principal & CEO Hassan Rizvi, the lunch also saw guests hear from learners Kirstie Gray and Leah Forkin all about the recent Youth Social Action Project, which helped to raise awareness of homelessness across Stoke-on-Trent plus supporting local charity Brighter Futures.

The event was supported by the West Midlands Lieutenancy, with Deputy Josie Morris MBE DL among the invited guests, which included representatives from Middleport Matters, Brighter Futures, YYMCA North Staffordshire and VAST.

The two-course lunch was prepared and served by hospitality and catering learners to guests, with a menu that consisted of a main of pan roasted chicken, potato croquette, green beans, carrot with mushroom velouté and a dessert of lemon meringue tartlet.

This was a unique opportunity to allow guests to visit, the award-winning, student-led training restaurant, based at the Cauldon campus and sample a selection of a menu curated by learners.

Deputy Lieutenant Josie Morris MBE DL said,

“It’s really important to recognise and celebrate the community and those collaborating to creating better futures in Stoke-on-Trent and wider in Staffordshire.

“I was inspired to hear what Leah, Kirstie-Ann and their team have achieved through the Youth Social Action Project, one of the many examples of the successful partnerships.

“There is loads of energy in this city right now, and this lunch was a testament to the connections and collaborations that are going on between organisations to drive this positive change. Events like this really demonstrates the strength we have in this area.

“And the food was excellent with probably the best dessert I’ve ever had”

Hassan Rizvi, Principal and CEO at Stoke on Trent College said,

“I’d like to thank our hospitality and catering learners who have once again gone above and beyond with preparing and hosting the FE Big Lunch.

“FE Colleges are central pillars of local communities, and through our longstanding partnerships with public, private and third sector organisations, we continue to strive to address diverse needs in our community.

“The FE Big Lunch is our opportunity to thank our partners, who through our collaborative efforts continue to drive positive change. We’re truly honoured to stand alongside these dedicated individuals and groups in their mission to make a difference in Stoke-on-Trent.”

Steve Heaton, Hospitality and Catering Lead at Stoke on Trent College said,

“The FE Big Lunch is another rich opportunity to give our learners practical experience with some new guests to the Hammersley.”

The FE Big Lunch was launched to coincide with the Coronation of King Charles III, and has since become a firm staple in College calendars across the country.
