Jack Petchey Awards Harlow

The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is a programme running in over 2,000 schools, colleges and youth organisations across London and Essex. The scheme contributes millions of pounds each year to support youth work in London and Essex.

The Achievement Award Scheme aims to enable schools, colleges and youth organisations to recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of their young people. It is not just about being clever, or gifted, but about putting the effort in and doing your best.

Makin’ Steps is proud to be a partner in this scheme and over the past 10 years has awarded many pupils with these prestigious awards. Below is the lastest award winners

Jack Petchey Awards Harlow

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 of their comfort zone or it may be an opportunity to recognise the outstanding efforts of a team player.

A young person is nominated by their peers in their school or youth organisation. An important part of the scheme is the involvement of young people in selecting the award winners for their hard work and efforts. We want young people to recognise and celebrate the success of their peers.
