Q – how can leadership academies support the development of young people?A – it depends on what the leadership academy is

• Does it involve all young people involved in L&V?• Is it only for the most talented leaders?• Is it selective by age?• What does it aim to do? - celebrate, reward, train or

deploy leaders?

Task:

• Discuss with the person next to you what your Leadership Academy looks like and aims to achieve

• Or if you are not involved in managing a Leadership Academy – what do you think it should look like and aim to achieve?

What did student leadership look like

• Some Training – Playleaders training, JSLA in some schools

• Some deployment – KS2 leaders helping deliver KS1 MS festivals, SiS community placements – limited success, KS4-5 students mainly supporting SSP events on an ad-hoc basis

What did we wish our leadership academy to be?

• All encompassing – all schools and all pupils involved in training and volunteering

• Not exclusive but recognise and reward those with talent and commitment

• Provide opportunities for talented leaders to make progress

• Identification, training, deployment and ongoing support• Grow our workforce through trained, experienced,

committed students

Missing link – KS3!

• Need to provide opportunities for KS2 leaders to progress not regress!

• Sustainable links between KS2 and KS4-5• Need to tap into biggest potential talent pool• Providing a visual pathway for pupils in sports leadership

and volunteering- why, when and what for?
