05 May Jack Petchey Awards
Ten winners of the Jack Petchey Award were honoured last Thursday at the Broadway Theatre in a wonderful ceremony, where special guests included the Mayor, Cllr Eileen Keller, and Borough Commander Sean Wilson.
Our wonderful winners from Years 9 – 12 along with Mr Kilminster the recipient of the Leadership Award have previously been given a certificate and a grant from the Jack Petchey Foundation to spend for our school. The money has been spent on our amazing Peace garden, PE, Drama and SDD Departments and also supporting the training of young mental health ambassadors in student mentoring services.
Mr Smith who also attended the evening spoke of his pride at the maturity of the young people. He said “It never fails to inspire me when I attend this event. Our young people are courageous and resilient and I am proud to say they are a credit to themselves and their families”
