Jack Petchey Awards


Jack Petchey Awards

 
We are fortunate to participate in the Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award Scheme. Each month, a pupil is nominated by staff to receive a £300 cheque to spend on behalf of the school; the award may be spent on equipment for a club or team, or on the school environment (see previous winners below). Boys are recommended on the basis of ‘being good citizens of the school’, perhaps helping others, overcoming hardships or anything else worthy of recognition.
 
The Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Awards Scheme has an annual budget of over £2,000,000. Applications for the Jack Petchey Awards are encouraged from any organisation working with young people (aged between 11 and 25 years old) and with a regular and active membership of 12 young people or more. The benefits are:
  • enabling schools, colleges and various youth clubs to recognise the effort, endeavour and achievement of young people in a practical and positive way,
  • providing additional annual funds worth £3,000–£4,000 for schools, colleges and various youth clubs, including the Leader Award,
  • enabling organisations to nominate an adult for a Jack Petchey Foundation Leader Award (youth worker, volunteer, teacher, non-teaching member of staff).
The Achievement Award Scheme is currently run by schools, colleges, youth clubs, sporting clubs, scout and guide groups, cadet forces, drama, dance and art groups, and other youth organisations.
