"The Social Impact School award really helped us during our recent Ofsted inspection, it allowed us to talk in more detail about what we do as a school to help care for others as well as the environment, working together to create lots of positive change. During the inspection, it helped our staff team to highlight even more how wonderful and caring our pupils truly are with their fabulous contributions and amazing work they carried out to gain this award!"

"The communication throughout the entire process has been exceptional, making it easy to stay aligned and informed... We have really enjoyed using the assembly materials, as they are child friendly and full of ideas. What stands out the most, though, is the incredible support from the team—there’s always someone available to assist whenever we need help or have questions."

"We chose to sign up for the Social Impact Schools Award because we felt as a school we were already doing such great things to do with social impact and SuperKind was a great way to bring all our incentives together and track it. It's been a really good platform that the children can engage with and it's working out really well here at St Helen's."

HOW DOES THE AWARD WORK?

The Social Impact Schools Award is based on students at your school carrying out social action such as volunteering, fundraising and raising awareness. 

The award is run by SuperKind Education C.I.C., a 100% not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering young children to make positive change happen in the world around them, through the website SuperKind.org.

When students have engaged in a social action, of any type and in any location, the action can be registered by the student or teacher on SuperKind.org to earn an online badge. This process takes just a couple minutes and teachers can log students’ action on bulk.

To achieve the Social Impact Schools Award, a school/alternative learning provider must register an average of 1 social action per student over the course of an academic year. These actions can be logged at any point throughout the academic year and we permit schools to back date actions since 1st September if you only set an account up later down the line. The award is a non-competitive accreditation and all schools who meet the award criteria across the academic year will be granted the award.

Please note, from time to time across the academic year, we may contact your school to request proof of the actions taken.

Schools/alternative learning providers can log actions taken, and award online badges, to their students for each social action that they have engaged in. Students can also claim badges on their own by uploading details of social action that they have engaged in.

When a student first completes an action (for example, Writing a Letter), they earn the bronze version of that badge. The next time they complete the same action, they will receive a silver version and the next time a gold version.

Our Welcome Packs include suggestions and ideas for specific social actions for each badge type.
