"A leader...is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realising that all along they are being directed from behind." Nelson Mandela
Pupils in KS4 will have the opportunity to choose the Sports Leaders pathway where they will work towards achieving the Level 2 Award in Sports Leadership. This will give learners the chance to develop their organisation, motivation and communication skills, whilst also focusing on positive role models in sport, how to mentor others, and how to use leadership skills in a variety of settings.
This course is a recognised UK qualification and is held in high regard by colleges and employers and is offered as a pathway for pupils in year 10 to follow through to the end of year 11. The course at TBS will be linked to local schools where our pupils will work with partners and in small groups to assist and lead sports sessions and also organise and run numerous sporting and multi-skills sessions. This will cover the required hours of voluntary work for the course, promote sport and physical activity within the school and maintain a tight relationship with our community partners. The Sport Leaders will also be expected to help with organising, officiating and running TBS inter-house events.
