AMPLEFORTH College has become the first school in England to offer an Institute of Management course to validate leadership and teamwork training offered to prefects.

More than 20 sixth-form pupils recently gained a CVQO-led ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership and Management.

The award is a vocational qualification which enhances the skills of practising team leaders, requiring an understanding of theories of leadership and motivation, together with the practical demonstration of leadership and management skills.
