Education awards are hailed a success
The ceremony, which was held at Fontwell Racecourse near Chichester, celebrated all that is great about education in this county.
Organised by JP South Events and this newspaper, the inaugural West Sussex-wide education awards attracted a huge number of entries, which were scrutinised closely by a panel of judges. Last night, the successful nominees were presented with their prizes on stage by a number of special guest presenters including Gary Shipton, editor in chief of Sussex Newspapers; Louise Goldsmith, the leader of the county council; Shelagh Legrave OBE DL, the chief executive officer of award sponsor the Chichester College Group and Sharon Collett, the principal of Greater Brighton Metropolitan College, which also sponsored the event.
