Jack Petchey Achievement Awards

The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme, recognises and celebrates outstanding 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. 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.

Nine of our Park High students, were nominated for an Achievement Award. On Tuesday 7 March 2023, our Award winners along with our Jack Petchey Co-ordinator Mr Fowler and our Leader Award winner Ms Ward attended a Jack Petchey celebration event in Harrow.  All of the award winners were presented with their awards in front of their families, friends and VIPs. Each award winner received a medallion, a certificate, pin badge, a book from Sir Jack Petchey and a £300 grant to benefit their school, each student chooses how the money will be spent.

Congratulations to all our fantastic students who have gone above and beyond for our school and the wider community.

Award Winner 

Alexandru 10KE

Reason for Award

Alex's dedication to learning volleyball has been astounding. He began by turning up to a school club, having played in lessons.

He has found a volleyball club outside of school and has improved his knowledge to such an extent that he is now able to coach and guide his peers.

Award Winner 

Eduard 11RS

Reason for Award

Eduard has made a fantastic improvement in his behaviour and is now part of the prefect team after a successful probation period. He has demonstrated a compassion for his fellow students and I have seen him on multiple occasions stopping and checking in on students who are by themselves, who are eating alone or who look like they may need help. He goes out of his way to help staff members and if a polite and conscientious student. He has made a real difference to his overall conduct in a really positive way and should be recognised for this.

Award Winner

Sabeeh 11YC

Reason for Award

Sabeeh has an outstanding attitude to learning, impeccable manners, and an exceptional work ethic. He not only models excellent behaviour but he has shown what hard work can achieve as his writing has improved significantly throughout the year, and is already working at a high level in English literature. Moreover, he has been very helpful in and outside of lessons when he thought I was in need. He is a very sincere and dignified young man who has been a pleasure to teach and who sets a good example for his peers - encouraging them to strive for excellence in class.

Award Winner 

Kushh 12BP

Reason for Award

Kushh has given up so much time to help us in PE. He operated a drone so we could take photos of our facilities, he worked on our cricket wicket to have it ready for a fixture and he assembled a piece of machinery to be used on the wicket. He has also given up his evenings to help coach cricket and to help score at cricket fixtures. All of this has been on a volunteer basis, simply through him coming to ask if there is anything he can do to help.
