”Teaching leadership skills at a young age will improve a child’s confidence when collaborating with their peers. Teaching effective communication skills to children today will help to build successful leaders of the future. If children have the opportunity, I would fully recommend taking part in the Future Leader Award. ”

"What I really like about the award is that it is device free. In this day and age where there is a reliance in schools on the use of technology it is refreshing to see children having the opportunity to be creative and have so much fun without technology. The content of the Future Leader Award is incredibly engaging, whilst still teaching vital lifelong skills."

"My daughter participated in the award and I was amazed and surprised by the difference it made with her confidence. From someone who was reluctant to put herself forward, she decided to apply for a House Captain role the following term. As a family we also really enjoyed participating in some of the takeaway tasks. The team building task was hilarious!"
