The aim of Playground / Sports Leaders training is to introduce and develop leadership skills in Yr 5 and 6 children by training them up and getting them to organise activities for other children in the playground.
One of the aims of the scheme is to increase the amount of physical activity undertaken during playtime and reduce the amount of anti-social behaviour.
It is hoped there will be a whole school impact in terms of children’s behaviour both at lunchtime and in afternoon lessons. The scheme will also hopefully raise self-esteem and self-confidence of the leaders.
A successful Mini Leaders programme can be extremely beneficial for your school. A group of Mini Leaders will increase the amount of extra-curricular delivery within school as well as providing a valuable link between staff and students.
The experience of being part of a Mini Leaders programme will also be valuable for the students. Something they will draw upon when heading to secondary school with the programme having the potential to improve communication, leadership, organisation and confidence among other qualities
