Introduction to Leadership at Canford
Canford | Ages 11 – 15
Everyone has the ability to inspire, and during our Introduction to Leadership course, we explore the foundations and qualities that will make each of our students effective leaders.
During this exciting two week programme, we examine well-known historical leadership figures and the characteristics that made them successful.
Students will study the fundamentals of what is necessary to create their own personal leadership style by examining the habits and behaviours of modern business and political leaders.
Introduction to Leadership challenges include: mock elections, a fundraising project for a local charity, and communication workshops.
Examine great speakers throughout history and explore how powerful oratory and logical argumentation are combined together to create convincing public speeches.
Each week, students will work together as a team to take part in research and presentation projects called Time to Shine. They will have the chance to present their own research based on a selected topic, and participate in exciting and challenging class competitions and debates.
Boost your self-confidence, self-awareness and self-reflective skills needed for leadership in the 21st century.
Deepen your appreciation of what it takes to be a leader, gain confidence in English, in your communication and presentation skills whilst becoming more motivated to apply these skills to your future studies.
Enhance your knowledge of the world’s most influential leaders. Be inspired by a research project in which you find and present a leader that you admire.
Learn how to lead a team to a successful outcome by taking part in a variety of fun activities and challenges.
By studying in a student-centred environment, and through a focus on developing 21st-century skills, our Canford students can return home with an enhanced understanding of what it takes to be a leader, better confidence in their English, communication and presentation skills and with greater motivation to apply these skills to their future learning.

When a student arrives, an SBC staff member wearing a bright yellow t-shirt will be waiting to greet her/him and accompany them to our Welcome Club. At our Airport Welcome Club, she/he will have the chance to meet other students arriving, have some light refreshments and relax. After a little rest, students will be accompanied by students and SBC staff to board the coach and be taken directly to the school in a private coach.
The Shared Transfer Service can be used by students using the following flight and train times:
Flight lands on arrival day: 06:00-17:00
Flight take-off time on departure day: 08:00-18:00
The times outlined above also apply to students arriving and departing from Kings Cross St. Pancras train station.
If you book a flight outside of these times or to/from another UK airport, we can look at sending a staff member in a taxi to collect or drop off your child, but it will cost more than the Shared Transfer Service. Quotes are available upon request.
If you book a train or flight outside of these times or from another London airport, please contact your Admissions Manager for a private taxi quote. Please note this will cost more than our Shared Transfer Service from Heathrow, Kings Cross St. Pancras (& Gatwick for Earlscliffe students)
Important:
Flights must be booked on the arrival and departure dates so that all students can arrive and depart the course at the correct times.
All three of our kids have attended Canford. All of them returned home so much better at English and with happy memories. It’s been a joy to send our kids to SBC – it’s seldom to experience such a professional school as the one SBC offers
The teacher can adapt the course so that every student feels included in the class. At SBC we do all we can to ensure that all students are actively engaged during lessons.
A level of B1 and higher is advised in order to make the most out of the programme.
Absolutely. During our graduation ceremony, each student receives a certificate of completion to acknowledge their efforts, which is held the day before students return home.
For The Introduction to Leadership course, our teachers provide students with the necessary materials for each lesson.
For each class students are encouraged to bring their own stationary, however pens are readily available and notebooks and folders are provided.
Not at all. Although there is no required reading for this course, it is always useful for students to continue working on their English beforehand if they are lacking any confidence.
Due to popular demand this course usually fills up quickly, so we recommend securing your space to avoid disappointment.
