We develop amazing leaders.
By teaching the skills of leadership and giving a huge range of leadership opportunities we’re developing tomorrow’s leaders today.
At Albany Academy we recognise the importance of creating opportunities for our students to grow and develop as happy, healthy young people. Our Amazing Leaders program embeds leadership within our curriculum and enhances the opportunities for students to steer their own leadership journey and take charge of the direction of their Amazing Leader journey.
AMAZING LEADERS AWARD PROGRAMME
In today’s world, the ability to stand out from others can be a challenge. Colleges, universities and potential employers are looking for young people who can demonstrate they have the qualities that make them stand out.
The Amazing Leaders awards program has been designed to enable your child to develop their leadership skills in the classroom as well as the opportunity to build an evidence portfolio of their leadership journey providing evidence, which they can use for applications and interviews.
The awards program has three stages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level of the award is designed to enable your child to develop their leadership skills, through a range of activities and the completion of an evidence portfolio.
All students at Albany Academy are invited to complete their Amazing Leader Awards, regardless of whether they hold a “leadership” position within school. This is because we recognise that leadership takes on many forms and not all leaders, lead from the front.
AMAZING TUTOR LEADERS
The Amazing Leaders program offers a wide range of leadership opportunities within tutor groups. All of the appointed Amazing Tutor Leaders have completed applications to apply for the following roles in KS3 (Year 7, 8 & 9) :
