Words to know

- a person who guides, inspires and unites teammates towards achieving a common goal
- effective
- something that successfully produces a desired result or achieves a specific goal.
- communication

Common mistakes
Pupils believe that leadership means being the boss and that they should be the only ones with ideas.
Leadership is about guiding and supporting others, not dominating. True leaders listen, include others, and delegate responsibilities.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Ensure you allow time to rotate leaders, giving all pupils the opportunity to take the lead.
