The College was shortlisted for two awards; the Nous Group Award for Education for Sustainable Development and the RCU Award for Support for Students. Matt Green, Sustainability Lead at South Devon College, said: “We are extremely happy and proud to be announced as a finalist for the prestigious Beacon Award for Education for Sustainable development. Earlier this year we launched our 10 year Sustainability Strategy and we have since seen increased engagement from both staff and learners in this important agenda. We have raised awareness of all aspects of sustainability, particularly Climate Change and the challenges that we face.” Alex Howarth, Head of SEND, Learning Opportunities and Vulnerable Learners at South Devon College said: “In being shortlisted for this Beacon Award, as a College we are proud to be recognised for all the hard work that’s being invested into supporting our Young Adult Carers, a group of young people who are unsung heroes and an inspiration to us all.” Association of Colleges’ Beacon Awards celebrate the best and most innovative practice among UK colleges each year. The award, supported by the Nous Group, recognises, celebrates and promotes examples of colleges that support the transition to greener economies and fairer societies and integrate critical issues such as climate change, biodiversity, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable consumption and production, into the curriculum. The award supported by the RCU seeks to recognise, celebrate and promote examples of student support provided by colleges for a significant group of students, across a whole provision or college wide approach. Mark White OBE DL, Chair of AoC’s Charitable Trust said: “The AoC Beacon Awards showcase exactly why colleges are so important to every community and why people value them. This award recognises colleges who are taking action on climate change, being innovative and moving to Net Zero. The work of the finalists highlights how seriously colleges are taking Education for Sustainable Development and we’re delighted that so many colleges have already adopted the FE Climate Action Roadmap.” Filter by Month Select Month November 2021 (9) October 2021 (13) September 2021 (5) August 2021 (7) July 2021 (7) June 2021 (7) May 2021 (9) April 2021 (8) March 2021 (11) February 2021 (9) January 2021 (9) December 2020 (8) November 2020 (12) October 2020 (16) September 2020 (5) August 2020 (10) July 2020 (6) June 2020 (4) May 2020 (7) April 2020 (9) March 2020 (12) February 2020 (7) January 2020 (8) December 2019 (7) November 2019 (16) October 2019 (17) September 2019 (17) August 2019 (13) July 2019 (18) June 2019 (18) May 2019 (19) April 2019 (14) March 2019 (15) February 2019 (8) January 2019 (9) December 2018 (15) November 2018 (16) October 2018 (14) September 2018 (6) August 2018 (5) July 2018 (5) June 2018 (12) May 2018 (19) April 2018 (8) March 2018 (10) February 2018 (4) January 2018 (5) December 2017 (12) November 2017 (8) October 2017 (4) September 2017 (6) August 2017 (18) June 2017 (2) May 2017 (7) April 2017 (7) March 2017 (13) February 2017 (5) January 2017 (4) December 2016 (4) November 2016 (7) October 2016 (8) September 2016 (9) August 2016 (10) July 2016 (8) June 2016 (5) May 2016 (10) April 2016 (8) March 2016 (6) February 2016 (3) January 2016 (3) Filter by Category Exam and Revision Tips News South Devon College Call us today: 08000 380 123 We are the first choice for further education and training in Torbay, South Devon and the wider community.
