Pupils from Wanstead High School at the Jack Petchey awards with Mayor of Redbridge Muhammed Javed
PUPILS from 24 Redbridge secondary schools attended the Jack Petchey Achievement Awards which celebrated the achievements of 159 young people.
The event at Ilford Town Hall on November 28 honoured people aged 11-25 who received medallions, framed certificates and cheques for £200.
Fifteen adults were also celebrated with Leader Awards for demonstrating an ability to motivate young people.
The awards scheme provided funding of £45,000 to secondary schools in Redbridge each year.
To date £2.5million has been received by youth organisations in the borough since funding started in 2002.
