Jack Petchey Achievement Awards

Jack Petchey Achievement Award Winners - Summer 2022

Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners are young people who have gone above and beyond to achieve. 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..
