Leadership builds far more than just authority—it nurtures essential life skills that pupils carry with them long after they leave Year 6.
✅ Confidence - Taking charge boosts self-belief, especially in children who may not always shine in traditional academic subjects.
✅ Communication - Pupils learn how to give instructions clearly and positively to peers.
✅ Responsibility - Leading helps children understand their impact on others and manage small groups safely and effectively.
✅ Empathy - They learn to support, encourage and include others—developing emotional intelligence.
✅ Organisation - Planning and delivering simple activities gives structure and purpose.
When pupils take on leadership roles during breaktimes or PE lessons, schools often report:
🔹 Improved playground behaviour: Younger pupils feel supported, and leaders act as positive role models.
🔹 Reduced lunchtime disputes: Structured games and pupil-led zones reduce friction.
🔹 Greater pupil engagement: Leadership gives children a purpose, and can reinvigorate reluctant learners.
🔹 A stronger sense of community: Older pupils take pride in supporting younger year groups.
Our Play Maker Award is the perfect way to introduce structured leadership in schools.
Aimed at pupils in Year 5 or 6, the programme helps children develop the skills and confidence to become Playground Leaders, Sports Crew Members, or Activity Helpers in PE and beyond.
It’s accessible, inclusive, and designed to support pupils of all confidence levels, not just the sporty ones.
