In addition, the Dave Turner Award for the most deserving Access student was given to Samantha Clarke.

The James Wong Award for the two students who overcame the greatest personal and educational barriers to progress was given to Daniel Chatfield and Rob Everitt. James is a former student of Fircroft, now a barrister in Hong Kong, who kindly sponsors this award of £100 each.

Fiona Larden commented, "Our students work really hard and thoroughly deserve recognition for their efforts. I would like to pass on my congratulations to all of these students - they are what makes Fircroft College special."
