“This award will encourage more children to be active during playtimes and promote healthy lifestyles. It gives pupils opportunities to develop confidence and leadership skills in a safe environment. I also hope it will help reduce behaviour issues on the playground, as more children will be actively engaged.”
“This has given children the confidence to see themselves as leaders and recognise the positive role they can play in school. Many are already excited to start their sessions. They’re developing communication skills, learning how to guide their peers, and understanding when to seek adult support — it’s been fantastic for their confidence.”
“My brain has worked so hard today and I’m tired! I liked how we could practise what we’d learned straight away. I’ve really enjoyed the whole day!”
“I used the six leadership skills to show reflection. I knew I’d been kind and courageous in my session, but I need to be more enthusiastic next time.”
“I enjoyed learning that, as a leader, it’s important to be kind and fair so that everyone feels safe — both physically and emotionally.”
