The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is a  flagship programme which recognises outstanding young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex.

Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve – perhaps when others thought they might fail. Awards mean different things to different people. The Achievement Awards are not solely for academic achievement – they may be used to recognise a personal triumph for someone who has faced a challenge, a young person who has pushed themselves outside their comfort zone, or it may be an opportunity to recognise the outstanding efforts of a team player. As part of the award scheme, each winner helps to decide how the award is spent on a school-based activity or equipment.

Below are our winners for this year.
