Welcome to our Annual SCG Awards page
This special event formally recognises the outstanding accomplishments of our previous year’s students, through a range of awards.
In previous years, students have joined family, friends and College staff as well as local dignitaries, for an evening of celebration. The awards event incorporates a "Winners Roll Call" where acknowledgements are read out and certificates, trophies and cheques presented.
This year we’re not letting social distancing stop us celebrating - so we’ve taken our annual celebration online!
Trophies and certificates have been posted out to our winners and some of them have sent us their own mini awards acceptance speeches!
Join with us in congratulating them on their success. We hope they’re as proud of their accomplishments as we are at SCG!

I would like to thank my teacher Teresa for being the best teacher in the world, and an absolute angel. I feel very proud of myself and I loved the geography course at Shrewsbury Colleges Group, where I had some of the best days of my life.

“Thank You for this award. Although this award is for the graphics work I produced, I'm very appreciative for the time, patience and support I received from my teachers in all my A Level subjects.
I accredit a lot of my creative processes and perspectives to the skills, theories and ideologies I learnt in photography, film studies and graphics. I'm very happy to have talented friends that participated in the creative processes of idea development. I believe these relationships I formed with talented people were especially unique to Shrewsbury as they helped me grow my work in a fun, safe, space.
The freedom and encouragement we gained from these creative environments allowed us to explore lots of different ideas regardless of their quality and logistical possibility, which definitely gave me the confidence and ambition to improve and evolve my work across all mediums and subjects.
I'm very lucky that my teachers trusted me to do things in my own way. I knew that if I concentrated and pursued the work I wanted to create, I would succeed in my A Levels and having their support at every step of the way helped me realise my own potential.
The skills I learnt in college built the foundations for the work I create now, whether that’s for my clothing brand Smown, my music, illustration or graphics. All of this stemmed from the support I was given during my two-and-a-half years in college.
Lastly but mostly, I want to thank myself because I'm the one who got the award and put the effort in across all my subjects, sacrificing the entire year and dedicating it to achieve the best grades I could get.
*mic drop*”

It was a great pleasure to hear I’d received this award. But to me, this was just the icing on the cake to my time at the College; the experiences I had, the progression I made as a person and most importantly making friends for life. I believe the journey is more important than the result and the journey I had at Shrewsbury Colleges Group will always be one I can look back at with fondness.
There are many people I want to thank who have helped me get to where I am. Firstly my family, who have given me love and support through my whole life and shaped me into the person I am. Also, to all my friends who made my years at College so enjoyable and gave me memories I’ll never forget. Finally, to all my teachers who were so supportive and created such a positive environment to learn in. Thank you.
