Dr Sam Parrett OBE is among eight College principals from around the country in the running for the title.
Tes FE Editor, Stephen Exley, said: “Excellent practice exists right across the further education sector, and those shortlisted for the Tes FE Awards are the cream of the crop. Our judges were extremely impressed with the calibre of entries. To be shortlisted is an extraordinary achievement."
Since joining what was previously Bromley College in 2010, Sam has overseen two successful college mergers, leading to the creation of London South East Colleges. She has also established the overarching London & South East Education Group, which incorporates a multi-academy trust and apprenticeship provider - ensuring high quality education provision at all levels across the region.
The winners of each award category will be announced at a special ceremony in London on Friday 20 March. A full list of all shortlisted colleges and leaders can be found at tesfeawards.co.uk
