Leadership Development Time
The aim of Leadership Development Time (LDT) is to helps students grow and appreciate their responsibilities as citizens through our exploration of Relationships education, British values and citizenship. It will also provide students with opportunities to develop leadership skills to make positive contribution to the local and global community.
We help our students grow in empathy and compassion via sessions on appreciation and respect of the Diversity and Equality in our communities. We encourage our students to nurture a sense of responsibility and compassion for themselves and others by exploring all aspects of physical and mental health, how to help themselves and those at risk and how to keep themselves safe on- and offline.
We promote ambition, responsibility and excellence in all students’ aspirations for their personal relationships with others, as future employees or entrepreneurs. We explore the positive effects that good relationships have on our mental wellbeing, identify when relationships are not right and understand what to do when that happens. Alongside this, it is important for them to know how diet and exercise choices impact our lifestyle and general well-being. LDT at HSAEL will help students to understand these areas and start to unpick their own place in a wider world.
Within this time we also look at what makes an effective leader through bespoke sessions on leadership and the skills students need to change the world!
