Presented by PCRFM's Kev Lawrence, the Oscars-inspired ceremony was a truly memorable evening, bringing together students, families and special guests to celebrate the hard work, talent and achievements of Inspire Education Group’s rising stars.
The event took place at The Holiday Inn, Peterborough, where shimmer walls and a 360-degree photo booth set the stage for a night filled with excitement and pride. Guests eagerly gathered, creating an atmosphere of anticipation as the moment arrived to reveal this year’s award winners.
Rachel Nicholls, CEO of Inspire Education Group who delivered an inspiring opening speech, said, “Tonight is one of the highlights of our calendar. It’s a chance to pause and reflect on the remarkable achievements of our students, to celebrate hard work, resilience, and the sheer determination that defines our students across Peterborough College, and Stamford College.”
Imani Joseph-Obiorah, a Business T Level student, who won Stamford College Student of the Year, said, “It feels so surreal to win, I'm so grateful to my teachers and family members for the opportunities they give me!”
Rheanne Lornie, who won Peterborough College Students of the Year, was also full of praise for the award ceremony, saying, “It's an incredible honor to be given Peterborough College student of the year, I wasn't expecting it at all, It's a massive privilege and I'm really grateful”

Angie added, “ So to every finalist, every nominee, and every student in the room, I want to say thank you. You’ve made us proud. You’ve shown what it means to be exceptional. And you give us all confidence that the future is in good hands.”
