The Greatness Project for Schools · The Whole-School Leadership System
A school-aligned formation system connecting earlier student development, appointed Prefects and authorised Staff Champions. The school keeps control of selection, safeguarding and delivery.
Request a school formation briefingTHE NEED
The pressure
behind the role.
Schools can appoint capable students and explain the rules, yet still leave them unprepared for friendship, fairness, public mistakes and peer resistance. Formation creates a deliberate layer between selection and the demands of office.
REAL CHOICES TO PRACTISE
01A prefect correcting a friend without humiliating them.
02A student contributing to a team before holding a title.
03A staff member balancing student trust with safeguarding duties.
Three distinct formation needs.
Development and appointment remain separate. Staff Champions support the student pathways.
THE OFFER
A defined cohort.
A practical formation journey.
Designed to support credible student leadership, a deeper development pipeline and continuity between cohorts.
These are intended outcomes. Results depend on implementation and are not guaranteed.
- Leadership Foundations: earlier-form development before selection.
- Prefects: formation for selected or appointed student leaders.
- Staff Champions: school-appointed adults supporting safe integration and continuity.
- A chosen tier, school-controlled calendar and agreed implementation review.
THE COMMITMENT
Choose the depth
of formation.
Start with clarity, build consistent practice or establish continuity. Investment is confirmed after scope.

Stewardship

Discuss StewardshipLab duration, group size, calendar, delivery setting and staff commitment are agreed before implementation. Staff Champions capacity transfer has its own approved scope and competence requirements.
COMMISSIONING
Clear ownership.
Clear boundaries.
The school Head, Deputy or leadership team commissions the deployment, with Board approval where required. The school names its executive, safeguarding and operational owners.
Begin with a briefing or non-diagnostic review. Agree eligibility, scope, calendar, data and escalation arrangements before scheduling delivery.
Share the commissioning briefWhat remains protected
No unsupervised adult–student contact or direct external messaging to students. Private reflections cannot be used in prefect selection. Digital reinforcement is optional and school-controlled; print-first delivery is available.
No compelled disclosure. Private Journals do not transfer to the institution or sponsor. Funding does not purchase access to participants.
THE NEXT STEP
Begin with the people.
Define the responsibility.
A formation briefing clarifies fit, scope, ownership and the next decision. It does not commit you to a booking.
