Virtual School Kent Awards 2023

Virtual School Kent are delighted to announce that nominations for this year’s awards for Kent Children and Young People in Care and Kent Young Care Leavers are open and we encourage you to nominate young people for an Award.

VSK are busy planning some fun award celebrations based on feedback from young people. Please make a nomination yourself and help us encourage colleagues and schools to nominate to ensure that we share and celebrate our young people’s achievements and that they do not miss out on the opportunity of being recognised and rewarded.

You can nominate care experienced young people from Early Year’s settings, Year R to Year 13+ using the VSK Awards Nominations Form

Award Categories this year are:

• Outstanding or greatly improved academic achievement
• Outstanding or greatly improved engagement and/or attitude towards learning
• Outstanding contribution to the education, training, or employment placement
• Outstanding contribution to the community
• Wider achievements of note.

The deadline to make a nomination for Year 12, Year 13 and for our Care Leavers is Friday 9 June 2023. Nominations for Early Years and Year R to Year 11 closes on Friday 7 July 2023. As in previous years we will not be able to accept any nominations after these dates.
