The Social Impact Schools Award celebrates and showcases schools and alternative learning providers’ commitment to having a social impact and provides formal recognition of those schools placing social action and charity-work at the heart of their education.
It provides a framework & resources for teaching active citizenship, character development and social action in an easy and meaningful way.
Schools, teachers and students all see active citizenship, social action and engagement with charitable causes as critical building blocks of educating children. Parents and inspectors look for schools that adopt a holistic approach, choosing institutions that help children develop into kind, empathic and empowered young adults.
Applying to be a Social Impact School and achieving the award provides several benefits:
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.
The cost to register for the award is £185+VAT for state schools & alternative learning providers, and £285+VAT for independent schools, though we have an early bird 10% reduction for schools who register before 31st October. The award is run by SuperKind Education C.I.C., a 100% not-for-profit social action platform. SuperKind has a wealth of content and resources to help schools create the next generation of change-makers. We provide this content completely free of charge to schools across the UK. As well as covering the costs of running the award, the registration fee allows us to run this educational platform and supports us in our mission to educate, inspire and empower young people. Included within your registration fee you will receive a Welcome Pack which includes, sticker sheets and certificates. You will also be able to download lesson and assembly plans and we will support you with great exclusive content across the year to help you bring social action into the classroom in a meaningful and engaging way – these resources will be specific to the age group of your school. Of course, if you are successful in achieving the award, you will also receive a physical copy of the award certificate.
Please note that with the generous support of a funder, who shares our ideals of empowering the next generation of change-makers, SuperKind is able to offer financial support to a limited number of schools to fully cover the cost of your entry to the Social Impact Schools Award. If you feel the cost is prohibitive to your school’s registration please get in touch on award@superkind.org and we will see if they can support you.

To achieve the Social Impact Schools Award, the students at your school/learning provision must earn an average of 1 social action badge per student member on SuperKind.org over the course of an academic year. Students are awarded badges by their teachers on SuperKind.org, or they can claim their own badges, by informing SuperKind when they have carried out any of 12 categories of social action.
So by way of an example, an establishment with 500 students would need to achieve a total number of student badges of 500 or above before the end of the academic year. Each student can earn up to a maximum of 36 badges on the site.
No – a student can carry out an action in any location, through any medium. However, we can only count social actions that have been registered on the SuperKind website and earned a badge for.
SuperKind is a not-for-profit whose mission is to encourage children to take social action. We are delighted by whatever form that takes – and most of our actions are not web-based in any event.
SuperKind is a social action platform for schools. Once a school/learning provider registers (for free) on the website, teachers are able to add students and award them badges whenever social action activities are carried out. We also have stickers and certificates available for you to award to children in assemblies etc.
Children can also claim their own badges by clicking on the relevant type of action on the Take Action section of SuperKind. They will need to login or create an account in order to claim the badge.
Children can earn up to three badges for each category of social action (e.g. writing a letter, volunteering, donating etc.)
Across the year, SuperKind may periodically request evidence of the actions taken for badges that have been awarded.
From time to time across the academic year, we may contact your establishment to request proof of the actions taken. This should not be laborious and we work hard to keep a balance between verification and being too burdensome.
Applying to be a Social Impact School and achieving the award provides several benefits:
Any learning provider regardless of age and sector can achieve the award. We have separate resource packs designed for schools of different age groups. We also have lots of alternative learning providers who take part in the award too!
No, the award has purposefully been designed to be based on an average number of badges earned per student, so there is no disadvantage or advantage based on the size of your establishment.
We are acutely aware that social action (e.g. fundraising or donating) can often involve financial resources. Accessibility is a key element of SuperKind and our platform is designed to be as inclusive as possible in all ways, including in terms of economic status. The vast majority of social actions listed on the site are deliberately designed to involve free-to-take actions.
Register by creating an account on SuperKind and completing the form in the ‘Schools Award’ tab of your dashboard (once logged in).

The registration fee makes you eligible for the award.

Additionally, you can book a consultancy call with SuperKind to discuss how you can enhance your active citizenship offering. If your establishment meets the badge criteria for your student population you will receive a png file of the award and a physical certificate (via post) which can be displayed on your website and within your establishment.
The Social Impact Schools Award is specific to each year. As such the Award logo and Certificate that you receive will be dated. All schools will need to reapply for the Award in and meet the 1 badge/student criteria in the subsequent year.
You will be informed of whether you have achieved the award via email before 1st September. If you have been successful, you will receive a digital image of the award to display on your website, as well as a printed certificate to display in your establishment.
