NEW COLLEGE PONTEFRACT
award winning In 2020, New College Pontefract won the country’s highest award for its sector, claiming the title of Sixth Form College of the Year and Overall FE Provider of the Year, at the TES FE Awards.
So impressed were the judges by New College Pontefract, 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. The English team were also shortlisted for an award at the TES awards in the category of ‘Outstanding GCSE Re-sit provision’.
The New College Senior Leadership Team won the Pearson National Teaching Award FE Team of the Year silver award in 2020. Following this, the PE and Sport department have won the same silver award in 2021, and are now shortlisted for the gold award given to the best FE team across the whole of the UK.
