Peterborough College and Stamford College Receive Care Leaver Covenant Award

We are proud to announce that Peterborough College and Stamford College have been awarded the Care Leaver Covenant Award in March 2025, recognising our unwavering commitment to supporting care-experienced students.

This prestigious award highlights our continued efforts to provide meaningful support, resources, and opportunities that help care leavers thrive in their academic journeys and future careers.

The Care Leaver Covenant Award is a national recognition given to organisations that go above and beyond in their commitment to supporting care-experienced young people. Established as part of a wider government initiative, the Covenant encourages education providers, employers, and public services to create tangible opportunities that help care leavers transition successfully into adulthood. Receiving this award signifies that our Colleges not only meet but exceed the standards of support, inclusion, and opportunity outlined by the Covenant—placing us among a group of institutions leading the way in social impact and student care.

At the heart of this achievement is our incredible Wellbeing and Engagement Team, whose dedication ensures every care-experienced student receives personalised guidance and advocacy. By tailoring support to each individual’s unique circumstances, the team works tirelessly to remove barriers, promote wellbeing, and foster a strong sense of belonging within our College community.

Receiving the Care Leaver Covenant Award reinforces our ongoing pledge to build an inclusive and equitable learning environment. We believe every student deserves the chance to reach their full potential, and we are committed to providing the support and encouragement needed for care-experienced students to succeed both academically and professionally.
