Harlow College hosted a second visit from Ed Miliband on Wednesday 12 November. After being welcomed to the College by Principal Karen Spencer, trainee journalists from the College were given the chance to meet the leader of the Labour Party for an informal interview session. He faced some tough questions on topics that included tuition fees, unemployment amongst young people, engaging with voters and how he deals with the pressure of leadership.

In a question and answer session with students, staff and invited guests, Mr Miliband spoke about issues such as housing improving the NHS, vocational training and apprenticeships. Afterwards, journalism and media students benefited from watching BBC political editor Nick Robinson film an interview with Mr Miliband in the College’s brand new Media and Journalism Centre. Mr Robinson spoke at length to students and answered questions about his work at the BBC.

This has been a busy year for Harlow College, having previously hosted a visit from Prime Minister David Cameron earlier in May 2014. Neil Silver, course leader for HE Journalism and Media Department said of the visit “This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to experience life in the fast lane, covering live news by interviewing a high-profile public figure and then writing a news story afterwards – this is what journalism is all about”.

Local student Sophie Stacey from Harlow College has won Media BTEC Student of the Year at the National BTEC Awards, held in London on 3rd July 2014. The ceremony was held in recognition of the nearly one million students around the country who are studying BTEC qualifications this year. Pearson, who own Edexcel, the awarding body for BTECs, received over 1000 nominations across the 20 award categories for this year’s Awards.

Nominated by her tutor Lorraine Love, Sophie switched to the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production at Harlow College after realising her AS levels were not giving her the practical experience in film making that she wanted. She is set to achieve a triple-starred distinction and has been accepted by Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication to study for a degree in Digital Film Production.

Karen Spencer, Principal of Harlow College, said of Sophie: “We are incredibly proud of Sophie – this award is a great credit to her and her teachers at Harlow College. To be selected as the ‘Outstanding BTEC Student of the Year’ is a fantastic achievement. At the same time she has made herself stand out from the crowd and secured a place on one of the top courses in the country for Digital Film Productions. One of the key values we instil in students is ‘Be Your Best’ and Sophie truly demonstrates this in all that she does - we hope to see great things from her in the future.”
