The Leadership and Volunteering Programme was conceived in response to London hosting the Olympic Games and is now both embedded and established within schools nationally and locally. The young leaders will therefore be part of a true legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Schools can book a maximum of 5 student places (1 booking confirms 5 places for your school). You do not need to book 5 separate times! If you do not wish to use your full allocation of 5 places, please email: turner@ndonline.org to let me know how many places you wish to take up. This will enable me to offer the spare places to other schools. There are a maximum of 200 places at the conference & places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The 2024 primary school leadership academy conference is aimed at year 5/6 students who have shown a positive attitude towards sport and physical activity and who have the aptitude, application and dedication to develop the leadership, employability skills and confidence necessary to;

• Be a role model, advocating PE, school sports and physical activity
• Help increase participation in PE, school sports, physical activity and competition
• Promote the positive values of sport

Through involvement in the programme, students will be given the opportunity to develop the leadership and employability skills of; Communication, Self-Belief, Self-Management, Teamwork and Problem Solving.

At the conference, students will participate in a series of practical workshops. Therefore, students are required to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for physical activity.
