Keren Mitchell, co-founder of SuperKind, said: “We’re thrilled to award Leagrave Primary School with SuperKind’s Social Impact Schools Award which recognises their efforts throughout the school year to carry out social actions close to their heart.

“We want schools to be able to encourage children to see themselves as changemakers, no matter their age. By giving them the tools, support, and confidence to take action, we can help them realise that their voices can have a real, lasting impact on the world around them.

“It’s been a great year and we’re looking forward to welcoming more schools to join the programme in September. We can’t wait to see what social actions next year’s young changemakers will bring to life.”
