BRIDGWATER College has received two national awards from the Football Association and the British Colleges Sports Association.
The awards recognise the outstanding delivery of football programmes and initiatives for students across the college and the community.
The college scooped the Football Focus College of the Year and best partnership programme for work with developing sport coaching.
Jason Gunningham, head of sports and services and director of the men's football development programme, said: “This is a very proud and privileged moment for all of the staff, students, clubs and organisations that have been involved in the many and varied aspects of our football provision.
“To be recognised as the best in the country is truly a special honour.
“I would like to pay special thanks to the Somerset Football Association for providing such solid support for everything we do, Prodec Ltd for their football NVQ education programmes, our community clubs and the students and staff under the direction of Luke Buckingham who engage in all aspects of our football delivery.”
