Gateshead College’s PlanBEE programme has been awarded one of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Prizes for Higher and Further Education, the highest national honour a Further Education College can receive.

The announcement was made at St James’s Palace and coincides with the college’s 80th birthday celebrations. The prize will be formally presented at an investiture ceremony next February.

Part of the UK’s national honours system, the Queen Elizabeth Prizes for Education are granted every two years by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister, following a rigorous and independent review process. They recognise outstanding work by UK colleges and universities that demonstrate excellence, innovation and real benefit to the wider world.
