Capital City Academy Jack Petchey Leader Awards are linked to the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme.

Capital City Academy is a part of the Achievement Award Scheme which allows staff to nominate student and staff "Leaders"

Awards are given to adults who have been selected by their colleagues as outstanding leaders who go beyond their call of duty as teachers, to lead and inspire other young people and adults alike.

The scheme is open to all students and staff at the school who have regular contact with young people. The foundation supplies a Nomination box and staff does a monthly nomination.

Internal School/Club Nomination forms can be down loaded from the Jack Petchey website.

- Invited to an Annual Presentation ceremony

- Given a cheque for £1000 ( in 2008) to be spent on a community/school/club project of their choice

Student award winners will be:
