Jack Petchey Foundation Jack Petchey is an East End entrepeneur. He is 88 years old and his is a real 'rags to riches' story. He was born into a poor working class family in the East End in 1925 and left school with no qualifications at age 13. Jack joined the Navy and upon his discharge bought his first second hand car and started a taxi business. He worked long and hard, overcoming adversity and became a multi-millionaire through his various business ventures. in 1999 he established the Jack Petchey Foundations which has so far has given £85 million to support youth projects. Jack seeks to increase young people's aspirations by rewarding their achievements and encouraging them to take pride in what they have done. In 2012, Jack was awarded the CBE in recognition of his services to young people. More than anything he believes that people should think of others and give back to society, no matter how small an act of kindness of generosity, he wants young people to know that in giving, you also receive and the world is a better place for it! Belfairs are proud to be part of such a fantastic scheme that recognises the achievements and challenges that our students are presented with throughout school and young adult life. As a result we would like to share the successes of our students through the Jack Petchey award scheme and acknowledge those who are facing challenging circumstances and overcoming barriers, and excellence either in school or outside in the community. We have 9 awards per academic year, where our Jack Petchey committee consisting of Year 10 students meet monthly and choose a winner from student nominations. The winner is then announced in assemblies and receives a special Jack Petchey certificate and pin badge. Every year all winners are invited to attend, alongside their family and friends, to a celebration event along with other schools in the community where they are presented with a medallion by a representative from the Jack Petchey Foundation.

LRC Ambassadors We are very lucky to have 4 LRC Ambassadors who are on hand to help before school, break, lunch times and after school. These are: Jacob Harwood - Year 11 Finn Reddington Haroun - Year 11 Madeleine Beasley - Year 10 Rebecca George - Year 11 Lockers How do I get a locker? All Year 7 students are issued with a locker as required. There are a set amount of lockers available per year group in each college and we encourage our Year 7 students to secure these within the first two days. To secure a locker you can pay a £5 refundable deposit via www.parentpay.com with your login. Lockers are allocated on a first come first served basis. Years 8-11 are offered remaining lockers once our new Year 7 students have been in the Academy for two days. How do I pay for my locker? To secure a locker you can pay a £5 refundable deposit via www.parentpay.com or visit your College Office on the first two days of term. What sort of padlock do I need? A 40mm wide padlock with a maximum 6.3mm clasp with a combination lock (this is recommended rather than a key which can be lost). Where can I get this? You can buy your padlock yourself or buy one from your College Office. They cost £5 and you will need to have this amount on your card. What happens if I forget the combination number? If you have forgotten your number (and haven't written it down somewhere) the only solution is for us to cut your padlock. You will then need to purchase another one. When you purchase your padlock from the College Office we record the number so you may return to us for a reminder if you forget it. What happens if I damage my locker? You will lose your £5 deposit and have to pay for the damage. What happens if my locker is damaged and it is not my fault? If your locker is damaged the person responsible will pay for it to be repaired. If another locker is available we will re-issue one while it is being repaired. What happens at the end of the year? If your locker is clean and tidy, and free from damage, you will get your £5 back. You can then apply for a new locker for the following year. If you have not looked after your locker properly you will not be entitled to apply for a new locker. Lost Property Lost property is kept in Reception. Any named items that come to lost property are returned to the student directly. Any unnamed uniform items and equipment are kept in Reception for half a term after which they are donated to charity. If a student loses an item of uniform or equipment they should visit Reception during break or lunchtime to retrieve it as soon as possible. If the lost item is PE or Dance kit, they should go to the relevant department first, and then Reception if they have still not found it. We ask parents to ensure that all uniform and equipment is clearly named so that any lost items can be returned to students directly. Merchandise Parents can purchase the following items through Parent Pay: Parent Pay Students will be able to collect the items from Reprographics during break or lunchtimes only.
