TRELOAR’S has been named College of the Year in the National Centre for Diversity Grand Awards in Birmingham.

The Holybourne educational centre saw off strong competition from other colleges in both the specialist and mainstream sectors.

Treloar’s also came sixth in the top 100 organisations nationally, competing against a wide range of organisations in the public, private and charitable sectors.

Staff member Lorna Woodcroft (pictured) also received a special commendation from the National Centre for Diversity and narrowly missed taking home the Employee of the Year award.
