The delivery focuses on developing learner’s leadership skills.

By the end of the course, the learner will have skills to set up simple games and/or activities that they are familiar with and understand the four key factors that affect their activities.

The learners will feel confident in assisting to lead a small group of peers or younger children under direct supervision. The course supports the Key Stage 2 curriculum for English, Physical Education, PSHE and Citizenship.

Leadership Challenges

All candidates that complete the course competently will receive a certificate. There are extra certificates of gold, silver, bronze and outstanding contribution for pupils to work towards by clocking up leadership activities in a variety of settings for example a school time club, out of hours activity club e.g. Cubs, school fair, PE etc. These also include writing sports reports or doing displays.

Each certificate is gained by completing more leadership challenges across the activity areas. Pupils record these activities in their Learners Journals.

This is an ideal course for pupils in Year 5 so that the school benefits from having Playmakers for at least a year. It's also a fantastic post SATS activity for Year 6 children.
