The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme 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.
The Achievement Awards are primarily about recognising those who put in the effort and do their best.
Each year, circa 12,000 Achievement Award winners are recognised and £3.5m is invested through the Achievement Award scheme.

Leonie, Year 10 (January 23)
Leonie won the Jack Petchey Award in January for Year 10. Leonie’s greatest achievement has been in her communication. Throughout her cognition, fine motor, sensory and communication sessions she is able to pick from photocards what she would like to do. She is using pointing to communicate her needs and can wave her hand if the object chosen is not the one she desired. Her vocalisations have become more distinctive as she uses intonation to differentiate her mood.
