The Kent School Award for Resilience and Emotional Wellbeing

Applying for the Kent School Award in Resilience and Emotional Wellbeing is easy. The application process is as follows:

Download the School Award application document.

Work through the application document with your resilience team using your Resilience and Emotional Wellbeing Record to support this. A lot of the hard work has already been done by completing this record throughout the toolkit process.

Gather one piece of evidence from each of the following principles to support your application:

• 1 x Student Voice piece of evidence
• 1 x Parents and Carers piece of evidence
• 1 x Ethos and Environment piece of evidence.

This evidence could be documents, photos, or direct feedback to support your application.

Submit your application for the Award, along with your completed Resilience and Emotional Wellbeing Record (Action Plan) and 3 pieces of evidence to kentchft.wholeschoolhealth@nhs.net

Your application will then be reviewed using the criteria by a moderation panel. As a minimum requirement we will need to receive evidence for Student Voice, Parents and Carers and Ethos and Environment which will be reviewed.

Further evidence may also be requested by the moderation panel which will be reviewed; however, this will not exceed 6 pieces of evidence in total that is required.

HeadStart will keep you informed throughout the process, will notify you of any evidence requests and will contact you regarding the outcome of your application.

If successful, a date will be arranged for your school to receive the Kent Award for Resilience and Emotional Wellbeing.

Please see below for the Kent School Award criteria application form, as well as a good practice example from both a primary and secondary school.
