Leadership Awards
Pool Academy also has opportunities for students to take leadership responsibilities within departments, capitalising on their own skills and interests to develop their abilities to work in a team and to lead giving them a great advantage when it comes to further life beyond school.
Here are the details of just some of the leadership prospects that students can enjoy at Pool Academy:
Maths Leaders
The Maths Leadership Award teaches leadership skills and enables successful candidates to lead small groups in simple maths based activities whilst under direct supervision of their tutor.
The Maths Leader Award is broken down into 6 units, some of which tackle the generic leadership skills such as communication and organisation whilst others focus on subject specific skills such as using maths across the curriculum and running a maths event.
PE- Sports Leaders
This award is a nationally recognised award that helps to develop your leadership skills and enable you to work with younger children, either inside school or outside. It is mainly a practical course but there is some written work as well.

3: Principles and practice in delivering a basic health and fitness session
4: Understanding fair play in sport
5: Understanding the role of the sports official

Doing an Arts Award helps students to develop their creative skills and their ability to communicate well and lead projects. An Arts Award is useful for getting further education opportunities or jobs — in the arts and in other fields.
The Arts Award is a qualification offered at Levels 1, 2 and 3 (Bronze, Silver and Gold) on the National Qualifications Framework. Certificates are issued by Trinity College London.
