In a statement supporting the STAR Awards Stephen Fry said:

"The many unsung heroes working within the Learning and Skills sector are highly deserving of public recognition, which is why I am delighted to support the STAR Awards, and wish to convey my congratulations to all nominees who have been short listed for an Award this year.

"As a young man some time in the mid 17th Century I studied for A-levels at City College Norwich and therefore have a personal experience of those working within the Sector helping students to achieve and exceed their learning goals, setting them on a path to future achievement. Without their passion, flair, charm, patience and belief I would never have gone on to university and the squalid career that followed!

"I would urge students, colleagues and managers to join with me to identify the STARs working throughout the sector by nominating them for a STAR Award in 2005."
