Last year, Year 5 and 6 participated in the The Archbishops' Young Leaders Award (AYLA).

This award is a fully resourced leadership and character education programme designed to be delivered by teaching staff within the classroom.

During the AYLA, young people will:

• Explore the concept of leadership
• Investigate the stories and impact of great leaders in society
• Consider the importance of serving others
• Examine how to bring transformation to communities
• Take action to ‘be the change you want to see’

As part of the 'Archbishops' Young Leaders Award’, children in Years 5 and 6 were taught how to conduct risk an assessment through when planning a community litter pick. This experience taught them all about leadership and responsibility.
