LEADERSHIP NEWS
Students from year 9,10 and 12 represented Barnhill in their capacity of a sports leader at the London Youth Games Final at Harrow Leisure centre with secondary students competing in the morning and primary in the afternoon. Over 200 students throughout the day. The feedback from staff has been outstanding and the work and effort put in by the leaders is something to be desired. They are solely responsible for the running of the SHA which can be a complicated event with highly enthusiastic and competitive students and staff from all schools.
They have managed themselves and once again our leaders have done themselves and the school very proud and are a credit to the school.

In January 2020, the Step into Sport Inclusive Leadership workshop for young people with and without SEND was hosted at Wembley Stadium. The workshop focused on the development of leadership skills in young people with SEND, with an increased emphasis on further training and deployment opportunities in workforce specific roles.
Four of our Student Leaders attended and were given the opportunity to develop these new skills which will support the Young Leaders to develop more opportunities for pupils with SEN and disabilities to engage in sport activities and competitions.
Barnhill leaders ran two Change4Life Festivals last year, both hosted at Barnhill. Primary Schools who had C4L clubs running within their own school were invited into to attend a fun filled morning of various activities to help build their confidence and help develop their social skills with others. Both the leaders and the participants from the 6 primary schools that attend had great fun and show that everyone can get themselves active and have fun.
