AN EAST Lancashire college will find out this week whether it has won a prestigious national award.

Accrington and Rossendale College was nominated in the school/college of the year category for the National BTEC Awards 2015 and was revealed as a finalist earlier this month.

The finalists are going to be judged by a panel of experts, which include employers, journalists, tutors and educationalists.

The winners will then be crowned at a glittering awards ceremony in London on Tuesday, July 7.
