What does it take to become a Star Student
Star Students are nominated by any member of the AL team – every Star Student receives a £25 Amazon voucher!
Take a look at our latest Star Students.
Nominations are based on students who have stood out because of:
- Their attitude to their studies
- Their progress with their studies against their learning plan
- Challenges they have overcome
- Any other noteworthy factor

A good example of a noteworthy factor is how our students contribute to society. We’d like to celebrate all the good things that our students do such as raising money for charity and volunteering. So twice a year our star student award will focus on what people do for their communities. Please let us know how you volunteer and you could be our Star Student.
