Schools & Groups

SuperKind has been designed to help teachers integrate active citizenship and charity within the wider curriculum and their classrooms. It’s never been more important to teach children agency, empathy and the other values that come from civic engagement. SuperKind is built around personal character development and active citizenship – key components of the Ofsted framework.

Children engaged in meaningful giving by the age of 10 are more than twice as likely to make it a lifelong habit. 1

Charitable action in school is often decided on and led by adults2, reducing learning about charity to simply being about fundraising.3 

 76% of primary school teachers agree that civic engagement should be embedded within the primary school curriculum.4
