Developing leadership capability within our pupils is a key aspect of our work at Belfast Boys’ Model School. Building capacity to provide leadership of peers is done through directed curriculum provision and the pastoral programme.

 

Senior School pupils are provided with a variety of opportunities to develop a range of skills through the diverse range of enrichment options and experience of work placement throughout Sixth Form. The tailored enrichment programme delivered to the team as well as involvement in mentoring, sports coaching, cross community projects and the ERASMUS programme, all give pupils opportunities to enhance their CV’s and applications to supported pathways to Higher Level Apprenticeships, FHE or employment. They also gain experience through the Prefect and the Pupil Senior Leadership Team system. These systems allow pupils to play a supporting role in Belfast Boys’ Model School, undertaking responsibilities with regard to pupil well-being, in influencing decisions about school life and helping to implement these decisions. The programme ensures they participate as active citizens whilst getting opportunities to become work ready.

 

Pupils throughout the school are involved in the Well-Being & Anti-Bullying Ambassadors programme, Student Council, First Aider training, CRED projects as well as a variety of curriculum subject areas.
