THE football development at Bridgwater College has received national recognition after being named as runner up in a prestigious national award recently.
The college’s Sports, Outdoor Education and Public Services Department came second in the ‘Football College of the Year’ category in the Further Education National AoC Sports Awards 2015.
Jason Gunningham, head of department for sport, outdoor education and public services, said: “This is once again fantastic news and a greatly deserved accolade for students, staff and our partners and further evidence of the high quality, innovative and sector leading provision we offer.
“Additionally, I am in no doubt that our ever developing partnership work with both Bristol City and Yeovil Town Community Sports Trusts, community clubs, training providers and Somerset County FA will further grow and mature into provision that will lead the way within everyone’s respective sectors and would like to thank all of our partnership networks for the great work they do with us and this played such an important role in our bid for this award in evidencing provision across a whole range of communities, work focuses, strategies and initiatives.”
