Jack Petchey Award

The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme is a flagship programme which recognises outstanding young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex. Groups on the scheme get to celebrate the achievements of young people and apply for a package of grants, worth up to £6,400 per year, to support their activities.

At Rokeby School, we use our school values - Respect, Success, Passion For Learning, Personal Challenge and Harmony - to nominate students for the Jack Petchey Award every month.

Congratulations to the students above for their outstanding contribution to the school and continued desire to “Dare To Be The Best”.

Y9 Talk2Learn Debate

This week's Y9 Talk2Learn debate was amazing!

The motion of the debate was "AI is a threat for the future of life and human existence” and the winning team were the students from 9EBY: Fazal Shah , Muhammad Rafay and Wais Hussain. The 'Best Speaker' award was given to Asadur Zaif, for his confident delivery and his excellent use of rhetorical devices.

On behalf of the debaters, I would like to thank the judges - Ms John, Ms Kelleher and Md Niv Islam in 10O - for giving us their time and providing excellent feedback. Thank you to our teachers in Maths, Technology and Computer Science for delivering the teaching of the unit Lastly, we would like to thank Ms Sokolova and Ms Cates for coaching us through the rehearsal process and hosting the debate!" - written by Wais Hussain (Triple Talk 2 Learn champion!)
