The Milton Award

At Gravesend Grammar School we strive to ensure that our students leave us as well rounded, creative, caring and accomplished young men. Running in conjunction with their academic studies, we are very proud to offer the Milton Award which provides a range of opportunities to the students.

The award will recognise students who go beyond the curriculum and aim to make themselves the most accomplished student that they can be. The award covers the following areas:

  • Practical Participation
  • The World of Academia
  • The World of Work
  • Benevolence
  • The Arts
  • The World of GGS and Beyond.

In order to ensure that the students gain experience in a wide range of areas, some of the activities are compulsory and some are optional. We have selected these core components for their appropriate rigour and challenge.
