The charity has given awards to three schools in London - Haverstock School in Camden, Villiers High School in Southall, and Rooks Heath High School in Harrow - from the Focus on Potential scheme for their work with young refugees.
The teenagers, who are from backgrounds as diverse as Somalia, Iran, Ghana and Croatia, were among the highest achieving school pupils.
"These teenagers would make any school proud," said Haverstock School's head of ethnic minority achievement service, John Yandell. The school was nominated by the Somali Community Centre.
