2026 Andover Achievers Awards
Andover Campus Celebrates its Achievers
Sparsholt College Group’s Andover Campus held a special celebration to honour its students’ ambition, dedication and outstanding achievements at the Achievers Awards, hosted at The Lights Theatre on Thursday 27 August.
The awards recognise students who have gone above and beyond in both their studies and personal development, showcasing the commitment, resilience and determination that define the college community. They also reflect Andover Campus’ personalised approach to education, where every student is known, valued and supported – encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Ben Stokes, Vice Principal said: ” We are immensely proud of the ambition, talent and dedication demonstrated by our students. Celebrating their achievements alongside families, friends and teachers was a truly special occasion, highlighting not only their successes to date but also the bright futures that lie ahead.
At Andover College, we are passionate about helping every student achieve their full potential, both academically and personally. We offer a wide range of pathways, including A Levels, vocational courses, T Levels and apprenticeships, ensuring learners can find the route that best suits their aspirations and career goals. The success of our award winners reflects the ambition, resilience and determination that we strive to nurture in all our students, and we look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the years to come.”
Andover Campus was delighted to welcome Dr John Flackett as the guest of honour for the awards ceremony. As an Andover College Alumnus, Dr Flackett shared his inspiring journey from student at Andover College to his current position as Co-founder & Head of AiLab. He encouraged students to grasp all opportunities ahead of them with confidence, be resilient when they are faced with obstacles and to remember to be enjoy the moments when the hard work pays off.
Harvie Nicholls, winner of the Personal Achievement Award, reflected on his time at Andover College: “Every single one of the staff members encouraged me and gave me the determination to achieve my goals – I give credit to every single one of them they helped to get me here today.
My advice to everyone would be that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, whether it’s big or small, by putting your mind to it, you can make it happen.”
This annual event gifts Andover College staff the opportunity to recognise and applaud the hard work, dedication and achievements of their students. It is always a proud and rewarding moment to see learners receive recognition for their commitment, perseverance and success.
