Looking back on 2025: progress, partnerships, and student success stories

CEO Angela Joyce reflects on a year of achievements, global partnerships, and student success as Capital City College closes for 2025 and looks ahead to 2026.

As this year draws to a close, I am impressed by all we have achieved this year.

We have had another year of strong performance. We have seen real progress across the group, with strong exam results, award-winning apprenticeships, and work experience and partnerships that are helping students from across London move forward.

As a college, we have done many extraordinary things across our campuses. Here are a few I want to share, which is by no means a comprehensive list. I encourage you to read our news stories to see more of the wonderful events and achievements that have taken place at CCC this year. 

We had visits from professional footballers and Olympic sprinters who talked to our students about mental health and determination, and we were delighted to welcome Dame Kelly Holmes MBE (mil) OLY as our special guest to launch Mosaic@Soho.

This year we also welcomed delegations of students and teachers from South Korea and Iceland, and some of our students travelled to South Korea and Hungary, proving that further education has global connections, and the world is ready for more international partnerships.

Students have excelled in maths competitions, have been recognised with Jack Petchey Awards, and our fashion students showed their creations at London Fashion Week and are launching a podcast where they interview industry experts. Our sports teams have shown major achievements.

The esports team won the British Esports Student Champs Nationals for the third year in a row, and our men’s basketball team won their fourth straight regional championship. A number of our student athletes won regional championship awards for netball and table tennis. These star teams and athletes will be joining their peers this spring to take part in the national competition. We wish them luck.

So this winter break, I encourage you all to share in the joy of the season and enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Here’s to a warm end to 2025 and I’ll see you all in 2026.

Share!
