As a school Mountbatten is a Leadership, Coaching and Volunteering School.
Part of the leadership strand means that we give our students the opportunities to develop their leadership skills. That could be in the classroom, in practical lessons or whilst delivering as part of our primary competitions.
We also give our students the chance to complete the Sports Leaders in the Community Level 2 Qualification.
What do our students get from the qualification?
A cohort of students with a formally recognised qualification who are able to lead and assist in the delivery of sport and physical activity sessions
A ready made, easy to deliver leadership framework which enables students to deliver structured and inclusive sport and physical activity sessions
Extensive tutor resources that help tutors deliver engaging education sessions to aid student progression
Session plans including “What makes a good leader?”, “How to effectively work in a team” and “How to become a good leader”
Sessions are comprised of a mixture of discussion, exploration and practical learning delivered through easy to use PowerPoint resources
An increase in students’ social and academic confidence
More employable students due to increased skills and improved CVs
Opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and development
