Lockdown School Heroes

Recognise a member of staff at your school that has gone the extra mile to support students over lockdown.

Whether its your science teacher who has put on amazing digital lessons, your form tutor who always checked in with you, the school librarian who kept students engaged in reading or your school cleaner who was a great support to the school and those students still going in during the pandemic – we want to hear about your Lockdown School Hero!

If you are a student, nominate a member of staff from your secondary school/college using the form below. They could win a certificate, a letter from Sir Jack himself and a special JPF facemask to recognise their outstanding achievements in supporting and motivating young people.

Please note that nominations for this programme have now closed. Thank you to all who nominated a member of staff!
