Descendants' Awards

Descendants Awards

The Dr John Roberts QC CBE Annual Achievement Awards is run by the Descendants organisation based in Acton.  Descendants is a charitable organisation that aim to encourage young people of Black heritage to develop a sense of pride in their abilities through increasing their self-confidence and knowledge of their history and ancestry. The young people are also encouraged to celebrate and recognise the positive achievements of role models in the community today.

Every year the Descendants organisation invites a group of Black heritage students from EWS to attend their inspirational and fun awards evening to be publicly recognised and celebrated for their outstanding achievements. 

Please let Ms Graham, or the relevant Head of Year or Form Tutor know if your young person is excelling in an activity outside of school that we may not be aware of.  We would love to nominate more students each year for this amazing opportunity.
