A glitzy award ceremony was held by Kirklees College to celebrate its staff.
The KC Stars awards at the college’s Huddersfield Centre recognised both teaching and support staff nominated by their peers because of the quality of their work or their impact on others around them.
There were over 150 nominations with 20 categories awarded on the night – some picked out individual staff for their contribution to college life while others recognised full team efforts.
The People’s Choice – STAR Award was won by Corrine Scandling from teacher education and The Outstanding Contribution Award, chosen by the college’s senior leadership team, went to enterprise manager Lydia Butterworth.
Principal Peter McCann also received a special award for Outstanding Contribution to Further Education.
