Rebecca has shown great enthusiasm and commitment during her time on the SLS31 course. She has engineered for bands and group events inside and outside of college and has started to record her own podcast using our facilities. She is reliable and committed and deserves to be recognised for her professional approach to her studies and her relationships with students and staff.

Robert is always eager to get into college early to set up for any performance and recording, he often emails tutors beforehand to check the schedule so that he is fully prepared. Rob is in charge of any admin for the bookings of students for his group and makes spreadsheets and manages emails to ensure there's availability for students. His attitude to learning is always the highest it can be, and he will take on any task given to him.

Millie shows an extremely professional attitude toward her studies and college. Her work goes far beyond anything expected from a college student and is often of a commercially viable standard. Having achieved Distinction grades for all of her units last year, Millie is on target for a similar profile this year and she has excelled, despite changing pathway. Millie is developing her professional profile outside of college and is ready for the world of work in music.

Charlie has continued to develop as a musician this year and has written some fantastic songs, channelling his inner Oasis. Charlie is a learner that receives support but does not let his learning struggles get in his way. He is passionate about his music and books extra sessions to work on them. Since the outset of his studies he has been committed to learning more about his instrument and production techniques so that he can write, record and mix his own music. Personally, Charlie is quite the philanthropist and is always willing to help others in lessons.

With no less than 7 nominations, this student has shown fantastic dedication to his music making and the college course. Louis always tries his best and attempts all challenges, and this has been rewarded with great improvement over the year. He has great guitar skills and performance qualities and a good plan for his future career.

Isaac has a fantastic future ahead of him. He has been helping all of the year 1s learn how to use C# and develop games, and has even him self lead a full hour -long workshop with the learners to help them get to grips with a very complex discipline. Isaac often helps fix bugs in his peers' code, and is very supportive in class.

Abbie has been outstanding all round from day one to the end of the year. She works tirelessly on her art and has very full and detailed sketchbooks of high quality studies of anatomy, architecture and a range of other subjects. She is a very strong and talented artist and an excellent student.

Ahmed has worked incredibly hard to improve his grade from last year. Through out all of the problems we have had with Covid this year, Ahmed has engaged with every session. done everything that has been asked of him, and has been consistently going the extra mile, working in his own time to improve his skills, and his grades. He is one of the most hard working, and enthusiastic learners I have taught and I am confident, if he keeps is current work ethic, and positive attitude he will have a successful career.

Tsz has been an excellent learner this year, who has contributed to making some very good games on his own and in a team. He has also achieved his Maths and English functional skills at level 2 and has worked hard all year, achieving an overall Distinction on the course.

Both Teigan and Storm are learners who take their studies seriously and always put in their very best and 100% every time. They always want to know what they did well and where they need to improve. Again they both make teaching a delight and and I am sure they will both be very successful in the future.

Nnamdi is a young man of enormous resilience who has shown throughout the year that his sheer hard work and application of his persistent work ethic has allowed his true talents to develop, grow and shine. His final major project was a coalescence of all his work and skills on the course showcasing his very rare talent.

Lachlan has overcome a lot of issues and been a fantastic class member in both group and individual work over the course of the year. I have bee impressed with his application and effort and his drive to improve and do his absolute best in all he does. For his animation piece I feel this all came to fruition in a lovely text-based 3D animation aimed at a children's audience.

Miriam had only been speaking English for two years when she started doing GCSE English with us. I have graded her at a 6, which is incredible considering - she was also the first learner at Manchester to complete all the work to at least grade 4 standard.

She has been an outstanding learner, with 100% attendance. Her attitude was fantastic throughout the year, lockdown included. She completed all the online work as well as improving any other work I suggested. Just a great student all-round.

Louis has been consistent throughout his maths journey and has always engaged throughout the lessons. He tries hard in class and answers all questions when asked. He has a positive attitude towards the subject.
