Shine's STAR Award

To help schools create a supportive and inclusive environment which can enable every child to have the opportunity to achieve their full potential in education and beyond, we have created Shine’s STAR Award (Support, Training, Awareness and Recognition).

Benefits for teachers, parents and children

Shine's STAR School Award is a recognition programme designed to improve SEND provision in which all children with hydrocephalus and/or spina bifida can achieve to the best of their potential. The award highlights exceptional teaching, innovative programs, strong community involvement, and a commitment to pupil success. (And it's free to complete).
