The Hollybrook Leadership Award

The Hollybrook Leadership Award has been designed to support children from an early age develop their self-confidence and independence to help them start taking responsibility for themselves.  Children need the opportunity to participate in a variety of experiences to learn new and varied skills on their own as this nurtures their self-esteem, which is an important part of the character education provision across the Hollybrook Schools.

By completing several tasks in each school year, children will be able to practise a range of age-appropriate life skills and further develop their level of confidence in their ability to be independent.

There are eleven challenge areas: 

Challenges

• Each year group from Year R to Year 6 will have eleven age-appropriate challenges to complete throughout the academic year.
• Once a challenge is completed, it will be signed off by the parent/class teacher.

• A child can only complete the challenges for one level per year (except for in year 2024/2025 where two can be completed except Year R and 6).
• The children can do their challenges in any order.
• They should bring their Leadership award books into school every Friday.

Rewards

• Once all eleven challenges have been completed, the children will receive their certificate and a colourful pin badge for that leadership level.
• There will be a special celebration at the end of the school year to celebrate all the challenges that have been completed.
• There will be an opportunity to complete a very small number of the challenges within school time.
• To show that a challenge has been completed, please follow the instructions and complete the corresponding sheet, sticking it in the book once complete.

If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
