Pupils from schools in Ealing and Hillingdon boroughs picked up awards for their achievements after following vocational courses at Uxbridge College.
Among those presenting the awards were Adam Bowden, who runs for Great Britain and is currently working towards gaining a place on the Olympic squad.
Pupils from 17 schools have studied the vocational subjects alongside their GCSE curriculum at school in the last year, on the School Link programme.
The School Link award ceremony was held at Hillingdon Athletics Stadium, Uxbridge, on 7 May.
Among those pupils who won prizes were:
