The Wandsworth/GLL Heritage Awards for Schools 2019

For the fifth year running, children at the borough’s schools are being urged to take part in the Wandsworth/GLL Heritage Awards for Schools competition.

The competition is aimed at Key Stage 2 students and this year there are two award categories – Best Class and Best Individual. The competition is designed to inspire greater knowledge of and interest in Wandsworth’s rich history and heritage, and help young people develop a sense of place.
