School Colours

To celebrate the achievements of all of our young people in Prestwick Academy and contribute to a positive school ethos we now award three levels of School Colours (House, Half and Full Colours) in each of the following four categories;

• Citizenship
• Enterprise
• Expressive Arts
• Sports

All individuals who achieve a Colours award are recognised with a certificate and the relevant badge and/or braiding, depending on level, which can be added to the school blazer if desired.

Colours can be gained through participation and success in a huge range of activities both in and out of school. Some examples can be seen above and there are more in the ‘What Can I Get Colours For?’ file below.

We would love to have applications from as many of our young people as possible to recognise and celebrate the great things they all do outside of our academic curriculum. As previously mentioned colours are awarded at different levels for commitment, excellence or a combination of both and as long as you can provide some evidence there is every chance that you will be eligible for an award at some level. 

We now operate an online application system where you simply download the Application form below, include the relevant information and evidence of your achievements and then email your completed form to the school address. Prestwick.mail@south-ayrshire.gov.uk

If required there is also an example Application Form below to guide your application.
