Leadership and Personal Development Training

Why do we need it?

• The partnership has found that a significant number of schools found lunchtimes could be a problem for some students, which can lead to those pupils finding it difficult to then settle back into the classroom in the afternoon.
• Some schools reported a high number of behavioural incidents occurred at lunch times.
• Lunch time activities can also help address the inactivity of some students, so enabling schools to work towards the government's target of an additional hour of school sport and physical activity on a school site.

What is it?

• Year 5/6 students are trained to become Young Leaders, who will promote Physical Activity and Positive Behaviour on the playground.
• Younger students will then benefit by the older students leading them in a variety of activities.
• Young Leaders will provide and promote a more active playground
