NSG LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
The Cobblers Study Centre is currently running a leadership programme for Northampton School for Girls.
The programme is being run in partnership with the club's Community Programme, with Darren Norton delivering the JFO (Junior Football Organiser) course to the students.
The four Year 9 students from NSG attend the study centre for 3 hours per week during which time they receive an hour of JFO course instruction and two hours of Playing for Success type activities.
The programme is designed to develop leadership skills, build confidence and raise self-esteem in young people and has proven to be very successful so far.
The four students will ultimately plan and run a football festival for children from the local community.
As part the course requirements they have already planned and run two very successful practical sessions at Upton Meadows Primary School.
The feedback from the school has been very positive and the NSG students were able to make a significant contribution to the school community.
This programme is the latest new project piloted by the Study Centre, bringing together a number of partners to ensure its success.
