Our Bronze Award is for schools or departments which have made a commitment to P4C as a whole school pedagogy and who have started on the training pathway.
Bronze Award
Our assessment considers how well pupils are doing in P4C, how teachers are developing their skills, and how well P4C is being supported across the school. For more details download our Awards Criteria document below.

How to apply for a Bronze Award
We would normally expect a school to have been doing P4C for one full year before being ready to apply for the Bronze Award.
Please read our Bronze Award Evidence Guidelines and Bronze Award Application Exemplar before completing the application form.
Your completed form should be emailed to awards@thoughtful.org.uk. If you are attaching large files, please send via Dropbox.
There is an application fee of £200 for a Bronze Award. Please contact accounts@thoughtful.org.uk to arrange payment.
Please note that if your school is signed up to a Grow P4C Programme, the fee for the Bronze School Award is included in your programme of training and support.
Need extra support to get to Bronze?
If you think your school would benefit from a little extra support from one of our experienced trainers to get you to Bronze, please get in touch with our team.
You can contact us on awards@thoughtful.org.uk or phone 01784 906899.
How long are Awards valid for?
Our Bronze Awards are valid for three years from the date of the Award – though many schools progress to Silver and Gold before the end of the initial three years. After three years, we will ask you to apply either for your Silver Award or for re-accreditation at Bronze.
To reapply for Bronze, please download the renewal application form or contact awards@thoughtful.org.uk
The re-accreditation fee is £200 and will last for another three years. If you are part of a Grow P4C Programme this cost could be incorporated into your programme and may not be payable.
