TES AWARDS 2020
• SIXTH FORM COLLEGE OF THE YEAR • OVERALL FE PROVIDER OF THE YEAR
New College Pontefract won the country’s highest award for its sector, claiming the title of Sixth Form College of the Year, at the TES FE Awards in 2020. So impressed were the judges by New College Pontefract, though, that they awarded the college the additional “best of the best” prize of Overall FE Provider of the Year, a title competed for by the winners of every sector in the competition. Not only does this mean that New College Pontefract is now recognised as the best post-16 FE provider in the country, it is also the first time in the history of the TES FE Awards that a sixth form college has ever won the Overall Provider of the Year title.
