Inspiration, Aspiration, Motivation

The Leadership for Children Programme was launched in 2018, devised by the Transform Team to enable Year 5 and 6 children develop the skills to express themselves effectively, understand the needs of their local & wider communities and challenge the viewpoints of others.

Last year, we piloted the programme with our Transform Children’s Parliament Representatives. The impact was so positive that the decision to roll it all to include not only Year 6 but Year 5 children was a natural progression. Such was the success of the pilot, this will now become a firm feature in the development of our Transform Children’s Parliament group and our current children are surpassing our expectations every time we meet!

A packed programme has been planned for the year, incorporating sessions out of school in special venues that reflect the world of work. We have been working with the children to develop their communication and leadership skills to prepare them for their future. The learning from ‘Future Engage Deliver’ by renowned leadership coach, Steve Radcliffe is the basis for our approach. We are looking forward to working with Steve who has expressed a keen interest in helping us to develop this programme with the children.

Guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds: Sport, Employers and Local Communities contribute to the programme to give our leaders of the future a broad insight into the characteristics of leadership as well as building the skills to enable them to be effective leaders within their schools and communities.

“Our Leadership for Children Programmes are unique because they have been written specifically for the needs of OUR children.  

They are grounded in oracy skills, citizenship and coaching,  and are designed to ensure that all of our children become agents of change who can impact positively on their community.”
