tomorrow's leaders today
The Future Leader Award programme is designed to teach children the essential qualities needed to develop leadership skills. As adults, we often expect children to lead without fully exploring the specific skills and qualities they need to succeed. We believe that leadership is a skill that can be nurtured leaders are made, not born.
About Future Leader Award
The Future Leader Award is a fully resourced scheme of work to be delivered by teachers in schools. Its aim is to teach children the essential leadership qualities that will support them throughout school and beyond. As adults, we often expect children to lead without fully exploring the specific skills and qualities they need to succeed. We believe that leadership is a skill that can be nurtured—leaders are made, not born. Drawing on extensive research from global partners we’ve developed a programme that allows children to learn and practice individual leadership qualities through engaging and fun activities. The programme is delivered through 12 lessons, each focusing on a specific leadership trait such as empathy, integrity, failure and resilience and active listening. Pupils then take on a practical project, giving them the chance to put their learning into action and demonstrate the skills they have developed. By the end of the programme, children gain valuable insights on how to be effective leaders and can apply what they’ve learnt both in school and in life.

Teaching leadership skills at a young age will improve a child’s confidence when collaborating with their peers.

If children have the opportunity, I would fully recommend taking part in the Future Leader Award.

It is imperative that children are taught from a young age explicit leadership traits. This will empower them with the skills necessary to motivate teams, unlock potential, and navigate change. I have seen first hand the impact of the Future Leader Award and urge schools and parents to get on board!

Everyone will be called on to be a leader at one time or another- whether in the public domain or among family and friends. Leadership skills depend on building personal confidence through developing an understanding of yourself and others. And the earlier the better - the Future Leadership Award offers a great start.
