Shropshire college shortlisted for Sixth Form Colleges Awards

Shrewsbury Colleges Group (SCG) has been shortlisted for two awards at the Sixth Form College Association (SFCA) annual awards.
SCG has been shortlisted for both Social Mobility and COVID Above and Beyond categories in the awards.
The SFCA Awards initiative represents the opportunity to identify, celebrate and showcase exceptional practice across the dedicated sixth form sector.
The judging panel will be made up of members of the SFCA Council, each one a serving principal or Governor, who has taken on the responsibility of identifying a top three in each category.
