The Leadership Challenge Assembly

This Assembly is designed to enthuse students (of any year group) to take part in a 'Leadership Challenge' which can be completed over the course of a half term.

Student booklet is included which once completed can be collected in by their teacher / form tutor / head of year and certificates awarded.

Success Criteria:
- Become a ‘lead’ learner in lesson.
- Peer support.
- Lead a group discussion.
- Help your form run an assembly.
- Help design / run a starter or plenary.
- Support an after school / charity event.


Assembly begins with a 'hook' clip from Peter Pan's 'Following the Leader' song (embedded). Ask students to reflect upon any leaders they can think of (a good opportunity to reflect not only on world leaders but leadership within school e.g. School Council / Head Boy / Girl).

Ask students what qualities you must possess to aspire to a leadership role. A video clip is then shown (embedded) and students are encouraged to identify any leadership skills which have just been identified (either by students or from what was displayed on the Presentation).

Students are then introduced to the 'Leadership Challenge', success criteria cards can already be placed upon student chairs upon entering, these can now be addressed.

Finishes with a prayer about leadership and encouragement to begin the challenge!
