Nominations are encouraged for awards in different categories from schools and educational establishments and you DO NOT need to currently be a member of NAPCE to take part.
NAPCE Awards 2024 is an excellent opportunity to share good practice in pastoral care and through our social media, website and those of our partners, the Awards raises awareness of where pastoral support is making a real difference in the educational experience of young people.
The Awards also encourages new initiatives and ideas in pastoral care and will recognise the contributions being made to developing policy and practice in pastoral support.
This is an opportunity to recognise the impact the work of pastoral staff is having on the achievement and well being of young people.
The decisions about prize winners in each category will be made by a panel of invited professionals who work in pastoral care.
