DVS Awards byDVS Foundation, were established in 2021 to support teachers in recognising and rewarding Year 12 students for their success over the school year. Our belief is that success should not only be centred around academic achievements. Success should incorporate progress, effort, resilience and many other factors, and the programme allows teachers to highlight this. We believe the programme is particularly advantageous for Year 12 students, as it marks a pivotal transition into adulthood.
Each school decides their own 10 Award categories and the 10 respective winners.
The Awards are presented in an end of year assembly with each winner being gifted with a certificate and a £100 gift voucher.
If you are a school, head over to theHow It Workspage to find out about the process involved.
