Superkind Programme 

Great Kingshill is delighted to be taking part in the Superkind programme which is built to educate, inspire and empower young change-makers to make a difference to the world around them. Superkind is a fantastic initiative and a simple way of recording our pupils' social actions, helping them to understand the impact of their philanthropic efforts. We will work to achieve the Social Impact Schools Award, that will formally recognise and celebrate the amazing social actions our children take over the school year.

Social action is a key part of personal and character development, encouraging children to think about others and to make a positive to contribution to society. We know that by getting involved in things like volunteering, campaigning and fundraising, children are growing themselves while also benefiting the world around them. 

The fundraising activities and community work we do in school will earn the children bronze, silver and gold Superkind badges. Children are also encouraged to think of ways that they can take social action when they are at home - this can be anything from helping pick up litter on the streets outside your house, doing a sponsored walk, making posters to encourage others to do the right thing, pledging to walk/cycle to school instead of driving, etc. Examples of this so far have included our Head Girl organising a winter clothing collection to support the One Can Trust, a preschool pupil raising money for Young Children VS Cancer, supporting the Rotary Shoebox Scheme and lots of litter picking or volunteering within our wider community.
